Wake
up, O man! For your sake God became man.

Wake
up, O men and women of the third millennium...Without the
light of Christ, the light of reason is not sufficient to
enlighten humanity and the world.”

 God's
Revolution - World Youth Day and Other Cologne Talks - This is the first book written by Pope Benedict XVI!
Pope Benedict XVI had an inspiring encounter with over one million youth at World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany in August 2005. He also had important separate meetings of significance with Jewish, Muslim, and Protestant leaders. This book includes all the texts of his talks to the youth during that five day period, as well as to these other groups in Cologne.
The Pope's inspiring words and messages to the young people were enthusiastically received, and comprise an important collection of talks for young people everywhere, and all followers of Christ. This 20th World Youth Day was this first without Pope John Paul II, so it is fitting that this collection begins with John Paul II's closing talk at World Youth Day 2004. Pope Benedict XVI stamped his the 2005 World Youth Day with his own personal style, with his gentleness and joy, and profound words about Christ's love. The youth responded with great exuberance.
Reading this book reinforces the conviction that God has given the Church a great Teacher of the Faith, and also a great Pastor who knows the way that can lead us to intimacy with God. His special charism seems to be his ability to combine universal openness with Catholic identity, clear and comprehensive witness to the truth of Christ with the gentleness of fraternal charity.

Pope
Benedict XVI - In My Own Words - This book provides a portal into the emerging pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. Quotes from the pope's "own words" - taken from his speeches, homilies, letters, and prayers - give the faithful a snapshot of the pastoral and theological challenges of his first months in office. Truth and freedom; church and culture; Christian unity, Eucharist, ministry, family, youth, and the Blessed Mother - all emerge as important elements of his vision.
As
one of the most influential academic theologians in recent history - particularly evident from his university teaching, prolific writing, and his role as the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (1981 - 2005) - Pope Benedict XVI now speaks as a pastor. In this
collection he addresses priest, seminarians, and laypeople; religious orders and other religious traditions; the media; pilgrims; children of all ages; presidents, ambassadors, and other worldwide representatives. Indeed, he speaks to the global community in order to confirm his trust in the Lord, and to make clear his conviction that the Church will go forward.

The Legacy of John Paul II - Images and
Memories - This is a glorious volume from the new Pope Benedict XVI, who pays tribute
to his predecessor, mentor and close friend, Pope John Paul II. As
Cardinal Ratzinger he was the closest Vatican prelate to John Paul II,
working together with him for almost 25 years in the Vatican.
When John Paul II died, the world saw Cardinal Ratzinger speak so
beautifully and eloquently at the pope's funeral, then at the Mass
preceding the Papal Conclave. Then the College of Cardinals quickly
elected Ratzinger as John Paul's successor. This book unites these two
great spiritual leaders in one powerful, deeply moving volume, complete
with over 100 truly inspiring, unique photos by Vatican photographer
Giancarlo Giuliani (many never before published) of many striking and
poignant moments of the pontificate of John Paul II as he traveled around
the world. Ratzinger shares his many personal experiences and insights
about the man who changed the world, "John Paul the Great".
