As he showed the faithful how to accept death, thousands in the street outside pleaded with him to stay with them. Pope John Paul II proves one can be a person of action as well as a person of faith in this series of conversations with his philosopher friends about the political events of the twentieth century, some of the most compelling of which he observed first-hand. He explains how faith responds to political situations, gives courage, and heals in unexpected ways. In a startling epilogue, he responds to questions about his memory of the assassination attempt of 1981, what it revealed about his own faith, and the acts he took from it.
