- Crossing the Threshold of Hope

The inner thoughts of. JP II. So very great to me. In. A. Time. I. Need inner strength thx

I'm half way through and the enormity of the insights is overpowering. One example: In the chapter 'How does the Pope Pray?", Pope John Paul says on page 25: "... they (The Church and the Pope) pray for vocations - not only for religious and for priestly vocations, but also for the many vocations to holiness among God's people amid the laity."I look at 'praying for vocations' in a whole new, and enlightened perspective; not just religious, but each of us in our roles as spouse, parent, friend, relative, as well as our particular occupation. Holiness in what we do. What a grand concept.Each chapter answers a question from a reporter inspired by God. The 5 page answers are succinct and bursting with ideas that bring the reader closer to God for many reasons, but one that stands out - I never realized how much God loves us. I still don't, but I'm closer.If the purpose of a spiritual book is to bring you closer to God, then this is the best I've ever read.

The book was a bit late getting here. The book pages were fine, and the hardcover, but the paperback cover had some soil marks and water mark on hardcover front corner. Not the "like new" description of the seller, but such a good price for such a great book that I do not want to split hairs. The inside of the book is fine, which is all that I really need. The book itself, by Pope John Paul II, is a wonderfully articulated. There is a magic and uplifting substance to this work - many levels to it and a wonderful bedside book for ALL Christians. It touches the soul like few others.

Well, I started it, but I have yet to actually continue reading it. I'm interested in seeing what the late Pope has to say on a variety of subjects. On that note, I'm excited for the book. On the other hand, if he uses jargon that isn't just down to earth, that makes me wary. I like getting clear answers to questions I have, and I'm concerned about whether or not he'll be able to answer some of them. Either way, it's sure to be an interesting read.

Good quality and rapid delivery.I've just started reading. I have not read much of the writing of John Paul II. So far, very interesting although it does not have the spiritual lyricism of Benedict. Certainly important to read the words of the Saints of our times.

Excellent condition! I was totally impressed!

Appeared to be used but am enjoying the book.

There is hope ! And we have more in common than not if we listen to the straight forward message from this Pope's beautiful book. God Bless !

Bought this for a friend but she has not ready it yet it.

A truly wonderful, insightful book by Pope John Paul I IA classic in its time.

Nice piece

Good read

Very, very pleased with this book, excellent condition and arrived early, thank you.
