Product Description:
From New York Times bestselling author Peggy Noonan comes "a beautifully written testimony about . . . the most historically recognized pope" (Library Journal)
With such accla imed books as When Character Was King, Peggy Noonan has become one of our most eloquent and respected commentators. Now she offers a stirring portrait of a spiritual and intellectual giant who personally confronted all of the worst tragedies of his age. Drawing on scholarship, interviews with prominent Catholics, and her own experience, Noonan traces the extraordinary life and struggles of Pope John Paul II with characteristic insight and probity—and explores how much we can learn from his leadership, diplomacy, humility, and holiness. Passionate and often deeply personal, John Paul the Great is as exceptional as the man it celebrates.

Noonan brought me to tears several times while reading this book about one of our greatest faith leaders and best Popes. She captures him and his inner spirit well.

This was the first book I read by Peggy Noonan and it definitely won't be my last. Noonan is very honest with her writing. She speaks what is on her mind and talks about the good and the bad concerning the Church. This book was very refreshing and I had a hard time putting it down because Noonan writes as if she was just having a conversation with you. If you want a book that will make you stop and think, this is the book for you.

The book is, by its title, spiritual, but it is also a humanistic book in that it helps us see John Paul as who he was, i.e., a genuine person.
Not being a Catholic, I have developed a greater respect for the Catholic faith because of this book. So thanks to ... Read More

In her book "John Paul the Great: Remembering a Spiritual Father," Peggy Noonan asks a very intregal question which resonates throughout the whole book, which is, "Why do those of us who love him love him" (p. xiv). What I believe she is also trying to ask is, why do those who did not believe at the time they loved him, love him now? Why did he bring so many people together? Why did two to three billion people throughout the world watch his funeral on television? Noonan tries to quietly answer that ... Read More

Heard JOHN PAUL THE GREAT, written and read by Peggy
Noonan.
It's the inspiring story of Pope John Paul II, born Karol Jozef
Wojtyla, who reigned as the 264th Pope of the Roman Catholic
Church, from 1978-2005 . . . in learning more about him, I was
impressed by his leadership, diplomacy, humility, and holiness.
If anything I would have liked more of a traditional biography; i.e.,
one that traced his life from birth to death in a straightforward ... Read More
