Witness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul IIWitness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II by George Weigel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pope John Paul II was a true inspiration to myself before I read this book. After I read it I realised how truly a great man he was.
His life story, if fiction, would be too far fetched to actually believe. From his simple upbringing in Poland he encountered the horrors of Nazi occupation and then the further horrors of a Communist regime and then to come through the end of all that and rise through the hierarchy of the Catholic Church to become Pope and be one of the most witnessed human beings in history.
Pope John Paul II was a truly remarkable human being who was led through his life by God himself.
