Go in Peace is a unique collection of some of the late Pope John Paul II's most memorable, heartfelt words. In the course of 12 chapters, each one corresponding to a theme that dominated his papacy, Pope John Paul II offers answers to common questions such as, Why do we suffer?, and How can we live as believers in an unbelieving world? Edited by Joseph Durepos, Go in Peace articulates Pope John Paul II's astonishingly powerful vision of what it means to be a Christian in today's world.
