New to Freedom Publishing from Catholic English author and broadcaster Joanna Bogle:
John Paul II Man of Prayer: The Spiritual Life of a Saint
–
Due late April 2014
Clare Anderson and Joanna Bogle
John Paul's exhortation ‘Do not be afraid!’ with which he opened his pontificate alluded to this simple self-
giving to God. Christ was at the centre of John Paul's being. He was able to inspire and uplift people on an
extraordinary scale, because his life was given over to God and lived with daily faith and courage. He has
been called ‘John Paul the Great’ and certainly his pontificate was a remarkable one – the collapse of
Communism as a power-block, the introduction of World Youth Days, the teaching on the Theology of the
Body, the missionary journeys to country after country. He has now been declared a saint, and joins the ranks of those
canonised by the Church: in exploring his spiritual life, we can learn what inspired and nourished this great man.

St John XXIII and St. John Paul II Prayer Book
–
Due late April 2014
Joanna Bogle
We have new friends in heaven. John and John Paul were men of deep prayer, with a message about
prayer and the spiritual life which can be learned and shared. This new prayer book helps and encourages
the faithful to seek the intercession of these two new saints and to thus grow in their own prayer, holiness
and virtue. Contains a spiritual biography of both saints, includes prayers to them and prayers they
themselves used and prayers on themes close to their hearts. It also includes devotions and prayers to
saints they loved, prayers written by them. Also contains help on how to pray.

St. John XXIII:
Pope John: Blessed John XXIII
Meriol Trevor
A vivid picture of the man who was relatively unknown until his elevation to the Papacy at the age of 77 in
November 1958. But in less than five years, he made such an astonishing impression, that the whole world
mourned as this much loved Pope lay dying. This was the Pope who convened the much misunderstood
Second Vatican Council, and without understanding this remarkable man, one cannot fully understand the
subsequent development of the Church.

Pope John Paul II and the Apparently ‘Non – acting’ Person
Dr. Pia Matthews

status of people with profound disabilities, who some regard simply as ‘non – acting’. This work tackles
such issues as:
euthanasia, suffering
and
the persistent vegetative state.
