“There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us. There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered. There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already born for us, and does not now bear with us.”

Pope St. John Paul II embodied these words, as Polish-born Karol Józef Wojtyła, as a young man studying for the priesthood in a clandestine underground seminary, then as priest, bishop, cardinal, and pope. He lived in times embroiled in political turmoil, and yet he taught about love, truth, and beauty. He became the hero of millions of Catholics for his unflinching defense of the Church and her teachings.

There is no doubt that John Paul II changed the world forever in hundreds of ways – here are just 100. Each of the 100 accomplishments, teachings, or stories about the beloved saint are fascinating and easy to read, in this book you will pick up again and again to learn more about his life, and grow closer to Christ in this life, to be joined with him in the next.
