Available in English for the first time, this engaging and
enlightening biography of John Paul II argues the case that the
late pope's life and deeds make him a worthy saint. A number-one
best seller in Italy, Why He Is a Saint is an account of the late
pope's life, highlighting his deep Christian faith, his dedication
to the Church, and his role in bringing down communism. This book
delves deeply into Pope John Paul's spiritual essence, through the
unprecedented light of the investigation into whether he merits
sainthood. Why He Is a Saint reveals the pope's life through vivid,
intimate anecdotes. Among the book's startling revelations are his
thoughts of retirement as his health declined, and the fact that he
practiced the ancient ritual of daily self-flagellation. The book
includes both unpublished as well as public correspondence, such as
the "open letter" of forgiveness to Ali Agka, his attempted
assassin. It also examines the pope's severe acts of penitence and
documents his miracles. This impassioned plea in favor of
canonizing the pope as a saint has proven to be of profound
interest to Catholics worldwide, as well as to anyone interested in
faith and spirituality.
