![]() ![]() The author understood before the audience could fully grasp and appreciate John Paul’s 5 loves, they had to be given the back story which starts with JP2’s upbringing and family life. The first half is a short but packed biography of John Paul’s life. “Saint John Paul the Great – His Five Loves” is broken up into two parts. John Paul 2’s Theology of the Body as the foundation of his and his wife’s apostolate. Jason has spoken about the Catholic faith to more than 1 million people on 6 continents. He spent countless hours mining through a mountain of papal resources uncovering the gems of JP2’s mind numbing writings and now presents the Church a chest overflowing with treasures of the saint’s life. Jason Evert, outside of maybe George Weigel and the few who helped with the canonization of JP2, has forgotten more about the life of JP2 than most of us will ever know. Nonetheless, “Saint John Paul the Great – His Five Loves” by Jason Evert was high on my list and it did not disappoint. However, I have come to the realization that I am more of a collector of books who casually reads instead of an avid reader who buys the next book once the last page is turned. ![]() I love thinking that because I bought the book, I will read it. I don’t know about you, but I love buying books. Recently I had an unusual amount of uninterrupted time on my hands in which I decided to attack my extremely long “books-to-read” list. ![]()
