The Providence to Papacy
Many people know of the wonderful things Pope John XXIII accomplished as pope but many do not know of the road that lead to the papacy.

Pope John XXiii; a spiritual biography,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pope John XXIII: A Spiritual Biography (Lives & Legacies) (Hardcover)
A nice overview of the life of John XXiii, but less than an in depth analysis of his life, philospohy, accomplishments, quirks, and the times in which he lived. I found the portion of the book on the convening of the Ecumenical Council and his role in that process lacking. Nor was there much to explain/clarify his successes and problems working with and trying to lead the papal bureaucracy. It was a good overview, but I would love to be able to read a much more in depth biography of the life of John XXiii.

No wonder we now refer to him beatified as Blessed Pope John XXIII. His is certainly a wonderful example to follow.
