Collecting his writings and speeches - published and unpublished - under ten major headings, this book shows once again the Pope's extensive knowledge of world affairs and acute understanding of the human condition. In what amounts to a sequel to Crossing the Threshold of Hope, John Paul II addresses Faith, the Church, Prayer, Love, History, Evil, Work, the World, Peace and Religion.
