Go in Peace

A Gift of Enduring Love - John Paul II, Joseph Durepos

Now in paperback! Why do we suffer? How can we live as believers in an unbelieving world? These are some of the questions the late Pope John Paul II addresses in this collection of his most intimate words, drawn from his many writings during his quarter century as pope. The material in Go in Peace is arranged in twelve chapters that correspond to the themes that dominated his papacy. Editor Joseph Durepos emphasizes the words John Paul directed to lay Catholic and to the world at large. They are memorable, heartfelt, often striking words that articulate an astonishingly powerful vision of what it means to be a Christian in today's world.

Go in Peace displays and preserves the compassion, intellect, and poetry of the most visible and influential Christian leader of modern times.
