The Legacy of John Paul II by Pope Benedict XVI (2005)
1 of 1 found this helpful Beautiful book capturing the images and memories of Pope John Paul the Great by his close friend of 25 years Cardinal Ratzinger ( now Pope Benedict XVI ).
This book captures the many striking and poignant moments of John Paul the Great's pontificate from 1978 Habemus Papem to his funeral in 2005.
I have several copies of this beautiful book which I give as gifts to others who equally admire this great man and Saint of our times, John Paul pp II.

Abba Pater * - Paul, Pope John II (CD 1999)
Awesome CD incorporating the actual voice of Pope John Paul II during some of his worldwide travels with various spiritually uplifting music. End result is a beautiful recording of His Holiness messages in his own recorded voice with beautiful background music to accompany his dialogue. Very well done.
Highly recommend for those wishing to embark on a spiritual journey with a true Saint of our times.

John Paul II by Raymond L. Flynn et al (2002)
One would think that such a devote Catholic with such a lofty title as US Ambassabor to the Vatican would be humble in writing this book. Unfortunately that is not the case. Instead Amb Flynn seeks every opportunity to flatter himself about how he "just happen" to be at the right place and at the right time for His Holiness to catch his eye and come over blah blah blah.
Disappointing book for the more advanced readers of the Roman Catholic Church specifically the Vatican during the time of Pope John Paul pp II but a novice might find something of interest. Save your money and look for the paperback version at either the Used Book store or discount section of a major bookstore.
