Witness to Hope

Many tough guys have told me they cried when reading this biography of John Paul II. The pope asked George to write the book and it took him 10 years to finish it. He had access to everyone in Rome and Poland and lived at the North American College. It's 1040 pages long but worth the effort.

If you don't have a few spare weeks to read this book the DVD is very good. Amazon does not have it but you can click on The Ignatius Press Logo at the botton of the page to get the movie.

I flew back from Rome with George and we had a beer together in the airport in London right after the DVD came out. Interesting note: The video was the best fundraiser PBS has ever had.
