  
Widely regarded as his spiritual last testament, "Roman Triptych:
Meditations" contains three new poems by Pope John Paul II, the
first ones written and published during his pontificate. The pope
chooses three stunningly powerful images from nature, art and
Scripture as the framework of his "Roman Triptych"
a mountain stream, the Sistine chapel and the story of Abraham
and Isaac. Throughout the trio of poems, he reflects on God
as the origin and end point of human life and all creation. He also
ponders the beginning and end of his own reign as Pope.
Hard bound with color artwork from the Vatican Museums
and several pages of the Pope's original handwritten text.
