Crossing the Threshold of Hope

A great international bestseller, this is the book in which, on the eve of the millennium, Pope John Paul II brought to an accessible level the profoundest theological concerns of human lives. He goes to the heart of his personal beliefs & speaks with passion about the existence of God; about the dignity of man; about pain, suffering, & evil; about eternal life & the meaning of salvation; about hope; about the relationship of Christianity to other faiths & that of Catholicism to other branches of the Christian faith. With the humility & generosity of spirit for which he is known, John Paul II speaks directly & forthrightly to all people. His message: Be not afraid! Translated from the Italian edition by Jenny McPhee & Martha McPhee.
