![]() ![]() This book was engaging and very hard to put down. ![]() However, I did not read this book quickly, as I wanted to savor the stories about this dear man and great saint. Evert writes in a clear, comprehensible manner and I found this book easy to read. In Saint John Paul the Great: His Five Loves, author Jason Evert tells us just who this great man was and why we loved him so much, by presenting both his biography (which covers nearly the first half of the book) and the five great loves of his life and his pontificate (which are contained in the second half of the book). His successor wisely waived the five year waiting period for opening the cause for canonization, and just nine years after his death, on the feast of Divine Mercy in April 27, 2014, he was canonized. We knew that he was a saint and would one day be declared so officially by the Catholic Church. Those of us who cherished Pope John Paul II knew that he was a great man, whom we not only admired, but loved. ![]() Theology, author of Seven Saints for Seven Virtues, freelance writer, retired psychologist, and oblate with the Community of St. By Jason Evert, released March 6, 2014, Totus Tuus Press and Lighthouse Catholic Media, Lakewood, Colorado, 240 pages, Available in paperback and kindle from Lighthouse Catholic Media, Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Major books stores and Catholic and Christian book stores. ![]()
