Media Reviews
May be the pick of the crop. * Publishers Weekly *
A splendid gift book of photographs that remind one, as words can scarcely do, just how much this pope has done and has been. * The New York Times *
One cannot turn the pages without being drawn in by the photos. . . . This book captures the breadth and depth of John Paul's ministry, but also his personality. * The Dallas Morning News *
John Paul II: A light for the World is a big, handsome volume, lush wih more than 140 rarely seen photographs of the pope's quarter century in service, and full of insight into the courageous pastor who guides more than 1 billion Catholics around the world and who has left an indelible mark on history. -- Norman Shoaf * Antelope Valley Press *
This visually beautiful book is an absolute treasure in how it presents everything the Catholic Church stands for through the life and teachings of Pope John Paul II. The presentation of Catholicism here vibrates with life because it comes from the breath of the very one who was chosen to be Christ for the generations living in this period in history. * Catholic Press Association *
A stunning collection. * The Catholic Light *
