I actually preordered this by accident or I'd never have read it. As it turns out, I'm glad I did. Journalist Peter Seewald continues the interview format that he used for his previous books with Pope Benedict XVI. This book serves not only as Pope Benedict's last testament but as a good overview of Leggi tutto

Ah, a new book by Pope Benedict XVI, and, if the back inside flap is to be believed, his last. And it's not written by him per se, since it is a book-length interview, and a very candid and honest one at that. I loved the clarity and the straightforward nature of the answers that Pope Benedict gives Leggi tutto

This book is remarkable for one reason that the interviewer Peter Seewald, a German journalist, who has known the Pope Emeritus for many years, goes beyond the purview of any print or electronic journalist I know. He throws very pointed, personal questions at the Pope, and harbors on if he's not sat Leggi tutto

This is the second full audiobook I finish (even though I tagged The Decameron as such, I read it half and half, both in PDF and audiobook format), and it was a nice experience.

Možno by stálo za to, niektoré pasáže vynechať a viac sa povenovať len tým najkľúčovejším, a Leggi tutto

Interesting retrospective and summation of the life of Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI in his own words and a welcome ending to Seewald's prior book-length interviews, Salt of The Earth , God and The World and Light of The World . Of particular interest to me was the Pope Emeritus' recollections of Leggi tutto

Whether or not anything else is published under Joseph Ratzinger's name, this reads as his good-bye. Pope Benedict is as clear transcribed as in writing--and he is crystalline in his writing--but there is an added warmth in the transcription. The Seewald interviews are among my favourite Ratzinger b Leggi tutto
