Often called 'John Paul the Great' - and Time magazine's 'Man of the Century' - he had a truly remarkable pontificate: the collapse of Communism as a power block, the introduction of World Youth Days, the teaching on the Theology of the Body, the missionary journeys to country after country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow declared a saint, he joins the ranks of those canonized by the Church: in exploring his spiritual life, we can learn what inspired and nourished this great man and share the spiritual journey with him. Karol Wojtyla was a very private person and rarely spoke of his interior life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough deeply rooted in Poland, he was heavily influenced by Spanish mysticism. This is not a man easily categorized - an intellectual giant, a philosopher of brilliance, a widely read academic - and we will never know the battles he had in cooperating with God's grace. Pope John Paul II's exhortation 'Do not be afraid ' with which he opened his pontificate alluded to a simple self-giving to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrist was at the center of John Paul's being. He was able to inspire and uplift people on an extraordinary scale because he lived with daily faith and courage. Studying the inner life of this most remarkable man - philosopher, poet, playwright, priest, Pope - we come to understand that at its heart were simplicity and joy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Anderson, Joanna Bogle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gracewing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780852448328\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gracewing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42806620258419,"sku":"0852448325","price":25.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_51e049db-1366-4b86-ab17-5ef2412aecf2.jpg?v=1738238513","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/john-paul-ii-man-of-prayer-the-spiritual-life-of-a-saint-9780852448328","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
