Saint John Paul II Be Not Afraid (Wallace)

Growing up in Poland just after the first World War, little Karol "Lolek" Wojtyla could hardly have imagined the amazing path his life would take. As an actor, poet, philosopher, priest, scholar, and pope, Saint John Paul II brought the Good News to people of every continent and encouraged us in the words of Jesus: "Be not afraid!" Follow John Paul II from his childhood in Poland during World War II to his death from Parkinson's disease on the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday in 2005, and meet the great Christian witness of our era whose courage, enthusiasm, intelligence, and hope took the world by storm—and still inspire us today.
