The author has done an excellent work on the life of Pope Benedict. He has lived in Bavaria himself, and done extensive studies, and yet has come out with a touchingly simple and direct examination of the life of this great human being.
I have family in Bavaria and have visited on several occasions, and the author has caught the true spirit of the region and it's effect upon the birth and upbringiing of Pope Benedict. The intellectual brilliance as well as the simplicity of the man comes through. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy reading this book and recommend it to anyone wanting to understand the culture and religious background of Joseph Ratzinger who became Pope Benedict xvi.

The book was great. Enjoyed the geography of Bavaria and life story of Pope Benedict. Interesting facts the Media doesn't expose or has taken out of context explained about events in his life.
A quick read and some photos to go along. I only wished it included a map of Germany. If your traveling Southern Germany, great places to visit mentioned.

My favorite Pope. Too bad he could not have served longer. He looked extremely tired. So glad he is getting some rest.
