';Karol Wojtya, Pope John Paul II, was a man whose life was the expression of a richly textured and multidimensional soul. The many layers of that soul took on their first, mature form in Krakow.' George WeigelIn this beautifully illustrated spiritual travelogue, New York Times bestselling author George Weigel leads readers through the historic streets of Krakow, Poland, introducing one of the world's great cities through the life of one of the most influential Catholic leaders of all time.';To follow Karol Wojtya through Krakow is to follow an itinerary of sanctity while learning the story of a city.' Weigel writes. ';Thus, in what follows, the story of Karol Wojtya, St. John Paul II, and the story of Krakow are interwoven in a chronological pilgrimage through the life of a saint that reveals, at the same time, the dramatic history and majestic culture of a city where a boy grew into a man, priest, a bishopand an apostle to the world.' With stunning photographs by Stephen Weigel and notes on the city's remarkable fabric by Carrie Gress, City of Saints offers an in-depth look at a man and a city that made an indelible impression on the life and thought of the Catholic Church and the 21st century world.From the Trade Paperback edition.
