Pope John XXII--In His Own Words

I am enjoying reading the various excerpts offered. The book was in very good condition and at a good price.

"In My Own Words A Treasure"

One of the best loved, as well as wittiest, Popes of all time, Pope John XXIII was famous for his insightful quotes. In this book, editor Anthony F. Chiffolo draws upon John XXIII's books, encyclicals, notes, personal letters, reports, speeches and radio addresses to present a very personal, very warm and very human picture of Pope John XXIII. The quotes are helpfully grouped into sections such as "Humility and Poverty," "Suffering," "God's Will," "Justice and Charity," "Peace," "Truth," and "Modern Issues." It is easy to find the right quote for the right occasion. The book offers a unique look into a man who is on his way to sainthood in the Catholic church. One of John's quotes in the book is "The older I grow the more I find that supreme wisdom is found more in the little, simple books." That is especially true about this book, which, though small, provides an excellent insight into one of the greatest figures of the 20th Century.
