And here is George Weigel’s book review on Amazon, of the same title:
I agree with the reviewer who notes so many misunderstood John Paul II, because they refused to accept him on his Christian worldview terms.
Karol Wojtyla, a messenger from God, that challenged us to stand up to the evil of this world with a renewed fearlessness, for “if God is for us, who can be against us!” We should arm up like special forces warriors, to use a weak analogy. Look at Judges – Chapter Six: When the angel appeared to Gideon, he said: “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” (Judges 6:12) He was projecting what Gideon was to become, by God’s grace. The Lord asks us to participate with Him. When Gideon questions the call, the Lord says: “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” (Judges 6:14)
I submit that we were born for this time and this mission…
Soli Deo Gloria!
