β¦ Synopsis
Pope John Paul II was a towering figure - a prime actor on the world political stage and a man who brought his church through a troubled time with his strength, charisma, and sense of mission. It's because of his leadership that the Catholic Church, though its rifts weren't fully healed, grew in numbers and influence during his papacy. Here, in this short-form book, is his extraordinary story with lessons for leaders everywhere.
