During the drama of these war years, the athletic and brilliant student defied the German occupiers of his homeland and entered the underground seminary.\nAs a young priest and then as a young bishop, Karol stood up to the communists controlling his country. With a love for sports and the outdoors, he accompanied young people on ski trips and canoeing adventures in order to lead them closer to God.\nIn 1978, Cardinal Wojtyla became one of the youngest popes in history. Like no other pope before him, he travelled all over the world to bring the good news of Jesus to peoples of every land. He continued his outreach to young people by starting World Youth Day.\nYoung people will be drawn to the well-crafted pictures and simple text that tells the dramatic and inspiring story of one of the most important figures of the twentieth century, one that many are already calling \"John Paul the Great\".\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1586179179\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.1586179179.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bar, Dominique|Koch, Louis-Bernard|Lehideux, Guy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
