Description: This is a glorious volume from Joseph Ratzinger,(now Pope ì Benedict XVI), who pays tribute to his predecessor, mentor and ì close friend, Pope John Paul II. As Cardinal Ratzinger he was the ì closest Vatican prelate to John Paul II, working together with ì him for almost 25 years in the Vatican.

When John Paul died, the world saw Cardinal Ratzinger speak so ì beautifully and eloquently at the pope's funeral, then at the ì Mass preceeding the Papal Conclave. Soon afterwards, the College ì of Cardinals quickly elected Ratzinger as John Paul's successor. ì This book unites these two great spiritual leaders in one ì powerful, deeply moving volume, complete with over 100 pages of ì truly inspiring, unique photos by Vatican photographer Giancarlo ì Giuliani (many never before published) of many striking and ì poignant moments of the pontificate of John Paul II as he ì traveled around the world. Ratzinger shares his many personal ì experiences and insights about this pontificate that changed the ì world.
