For the first time publicly the pontiff describes the moments after he was gravely wounded in 1981, saying he was fearful and in pain but had "a strange feeling of confidence" that he would live. This book is essentially a transcript of conversations he had in Polish with two of his closest friends--translated into English.

Review By: Anonymous From nigeria 5.0/5a great achiever, 04/15/2005
There's a common place inside people from all countries, all religions, all colors, all ideologies, and philosophies, that unites us. It's a beautiful and pure place within where the soul dwells, and it speaks only love. All of us who have known the beauty of love, have visited this place, and have felt its power. It makes angst and animosity crumble into dust and inspires hope for the impossible. Sometimes this unity of the human soul is lost to us through words, opinions, actions, and politics. We get so stuck on our differences, that we forget we all hailed from the same home and are eternally connected. It's too bad that the whole world couldn't get together in complete silence and speak only through the beauty of the soul; for surely then, peace would prevail on earth as in heaven. the man did give visionary leadership to the world. praise God.
