Testimony of the Cross is a moving photographic and textual reflection on the mystery of the Cross. The text is written by Pope John Paul II for the Via Crucis (The Way of the Cross) journey which he made to the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, on Good Friday, April 21, 2000. Testimony of the Cross includes illustrations for each station of the Cross, and prayers and meditations written by the Holy Father – an expression of his own spirituality as it is related to the Cross, to Faith, to Life, and to Love. In addition, 40 beautiful color photographs provide an exquisite retrospective of the Holy Father’s Pontificate. This book is ideal for personal reflection and inspiration, and makes a wonderful gift. A keepsake that will be treasured for years, Testimony of the Cross is of the highest production quality and is compiled and printed by the Libreria Editrice Vaticana in Rome, Italy.

This review is from: Testimony of the Cross: Meditations and Prayers of John Paul II (Paperback)

Pope John Paul II not only believed his message of embracing the cross of our great mentor and savior he was one of the highest exemplars of his message.

This book is breathtaking in the exposition of our late great pope's message and deserves to be recognized as such.

Another great book is "At The Altar of the World" that equally showcases what this pope was about. If the reader is also interested in a similar discovery of this man's legacy of truth and social justice there are a multitude of books available from Amazon. As an avid-reader of his works and an individual who is constantly being surprised at their content and depth I truly hope others will also avail themselves of this opportunity.

I just recently purchased, "The President, the Pope and the Prime Minister." This book is just another example of the recommendations I have made and hopefully (without being repetitive) will find its way into the presence of other readers.
