As the book tells us, St John Paul II made a visit of little over 24 hours to the Polish hub of Stevens Point in Central Wisconsin just two years before his election to the papacy. The pride in that visit that shines through even to the present day from this town is inspiring and telling of the impact that great man left on rural Wisconsin and the world.

Any proud Wisconsinite will find a brief yet meaningful biography of JPII that is sure to inspire further reading. Any faithful Catholic will happily share in the overflowing joy the author has in telling this story.

For one day in the life of St John Paul the Great to affect so many is humbling yet unsurprising when we learn what made him who he was and how he lived every moment in the present.
