An extraordinary journey documenting the 25 years of the papacy of John Paul II, one of the most remarkable figures of the 20th century. Spanning from the days when he was still a cardinal to his death and the election of today's Pope Benedict XVI, historical photographs and very personal moments of the life of the Pope are documented here. These revealing and poignant photographs show the Pope in his full humanity and not just as the former head of the Catholic Church. Designed to be the size of an average hand-held bible, this 288 pages tribute is the perfect keepsake.
