Pope John XXIII " Journal of a Soul."
Pope John XXIII was the greatest of the last century bringing in the Ecumenical movement and the renewed focus of the Church back to the Bible, and the First Christians. This book is so inspiring by this very humble and holy man, who brought so much of Jesus' words and works to the modern world. One may have gain so much from reading the innermost thoughts of the young seminarian, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli up until his death as Pope John XXIII.
A Pope that shocked the Church and the Curia for being so Christ-like in his thinking and his actions throughout his life. His humble beginnings and the outpost assignments that he was given speak to the passion of following his vocation no matter where it took him and no matter how insignificant the job seemed.
