DAY BY DAY with Pope Benedict XVI

This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever owned. To open it and see the art work alone makes it worth $100.00. I would have have paid that much for a copy. Instead I have purchased this for friends for a fraction of that and won their thanks forevermore. The words in the book, words of our Pope Benedict XVI, are beautiful. It seems that every word from this man's heart and mouth are straight from the heart of God. Do buy it and give it to everyone who loves this Pope -- and even some who don't -- yet.

Coffee-table Perfect

Informative about our new Pope. One picture is worth a thousand words! I leave it out on our coffee-table for all to see. I consider it a treasure to have ammong my books! It is well done!

Has It All!

This glorious coffee-table photo-biography of Pope Benedict is a wonderful,unique combo volume - some 150 striking photos of the Pope's life from his boyhood thru the first year of his papacy, and really excellent commentary on the life & impact of Benedict/Ratzinger by Peter Seewald. As the book blurb says, Seewald wrote those two popular book-length interviews of Cardinal Ratzinger (SALT OF THE EARTH, GOD AND THE WORLD) which dramatically changed Seewald's own life, bringing him back to the practice of his Catholicism after having fallen away for many years. So Seewald knows this man so well, and he is such a good writer, that his fine writing & insights on the various stages of the Pope's life are a great complement to the amazing photos in this keepsake of a book. It is the ideal Christmas gift book!
