John Paul II: Lessons for Living

Saint Pope John Paul II has always been the people Pope. He is humble, true to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Traditions, Teachings, and Docrum, and practice his faith daily. This book is a quick read and full of his wisdom that you can apply easily in your daily life. I would recommend this book.

This is a small book of reflections and we love it. Wish it had some photos of PJP in it as well.

If you are looking for things to contemplate while meditating, this book may be good for you. I, though, was very disappointed. I was hoping for more of a discussion on points. Though I do recall that they said that the lessons were short, I didn't realize how short they would be. This teaches me to buy samples from now on of books. The lessons were a paragraph, maybe two paragraph tops. To me, they felt like quick thoughts jotted down in a journal.I'm not saying they weren't good lessons...but I was hoping for more of a discussion on why a person should follow these lessons...maybe with bits of John Paul's own life experience. Most of us probably know what we should do, but I like books that tell you why we have these morals...for I find that morals are easier to uphold when consequences of breaking them are laid out (and I don't mean hellfire and damnation--there are actually very practical reasons to uphold morals).

Extremely SPIRIT minded. Each teaching May be read over and over with increased joy. Uplifting. Worthy of meditation. May be read at any age or time of day for a renewed sense of GOD with us.

Pope John Paul II shares honors with Billy Graham in terms of evangelism and religious life. If you want inspiriational but short writings, JPII is your man of the times. This Holy and God filled man is the best thing to happen for the Catholic Faithful, all Christians and all people of all faiths. I encourage you to read his works. Simple, consice and in lay terms. Read and build on your lives.

Really wonderful. I wish this came in a desk calendar. It’s taken me a while to read it, because I just read one or two entries a day as good for thought. I recommend this for anyone.

I read one section a day for inspiration. Beautiful book!
