"Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan were preserved through this
suffering for a high purpose. I don't think you'll understand
either one of them without understanding that." -Bishop Robert
Barron in The Divine Plan Just six weeks apart in the spring of
1981, Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan took bullets
from would-be assassins. Few knew it at the time, but both men came
close to dying. Surviving these near-death experiences created a
singular bond between the Pope and the President that historians
have failed to appreciate. When John Paul II and Reagan met in the
Vatican only a year later, they confided to each other a shared
conviction: that God had spared their lives for a reason. In this
follow-up to Paul Kengor's acclaimed bestseller A Pope and a
President, Kengor teams up with writer-director Robert Orlando to
shed new light on the extraordinary bond between John Paul II and
Ronald Reagan, and how that bond drove the pope and the president
to confront communism. Shorter and more focused than A Pope and a
President, The Divine Plan also boasts an even greater range of
authorities to fill in the picture. Kengor and Orlando interview
more than a dozen experts, including well-known historians Douglas
Brinkley, H. W. Brands, Anne Applebaum, John O'Sullivan, and Craig
Shirley; the leading biographer of John Paul II, George Weigel;
close Reagan adviser Richard V. Allen; and Cardinal Timothy Dolan
and Bishop Robert Barron.
