Gift and Mystery Pope John Paul II
A perfect gift and a glorious celebration of the life of this much loved Pope. On the 50th anniversary of his priestly ordination Pope John Paul II told the story of his vocation, relating memories of his innermost experiences and above all recalling his thoughts in order to thank the Lord. This is a smartly produced book including charming illustrations of the churches and places that were important to him.
'The outbreak of the war took me away form my studies and from the University. In that period I also lost my father, the last remaining member of my immediate family. All this brought with it, objectively, a progressive detachment from my earlier plans; in a way it was like being uprooted from the soil in which up till that moment, my humanity had grown. But the process was not merely negative. At the same time a light was beginning to shine ever more brightly in the back of my mind: the Lord wants me to become a priest. One day I saw this with great clarity.'

The Jeweller's Shop Karol Wojtyla
Love is "one of the greatest dramas of human existence," wrote Pope John Paul II. In this illuminating three-act play he explores the relationships between men and women, the joys and the pain of love and marriage. The action unfolds in two settings at once, a street in a small town outside the local jeweller's shop where people go to buy their weddings rings, and the mysterious inner landscape of personal hopes and fears, loves and longing. Writing with power and understanding about love, the Pope addresses such fundamental human concerns as: What does it mean to fall in love? This is a play full of wisdom, it provides a special insight into the thoughts of the man who, like no other, captured the imagination of people of all faiths throughout the world.

Love and Responsibility Karol Wojtyla
Drawing from his own experience as a priest and bishop before be became Pope, Karol Wojtyla produced a remarkably eloquent and resourceful defence of Catholic tradition in the sphere of family life and sexual morality. He writes in the conviction science, biology, psychology and sociology, can provide valuable information on particular aspects between the sexes, but that a full understanding can be obtained only by the study of a person as a whole.
In no other book does the Pope emerge more clearly as an independent thinker. This book is a high-minded rejoinder to the sexual revolution.
