I had the great pleasure of listening to Pope John Paul II's official biographer and New York Times bestselling author, Mr. George Weigel speak tonight on his book, The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II- The Victory of Freedom, the Last Years, the Legacy.  In his talk he speaks of Pope John Paul II's impact on the fall of communism, the life he lived constantly under surveillance by the KGB and other secret police agencies, and his last years. This is one of the better speakers I have heard and there is never a dull moment.  I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did.

If, after hearing him speak, you would like to purchase one of his books, you may do so by clicking here.

I would like to thank Mr. Weigel for granting me permission to record his talk.  I would also like to thank Our Lady of Mercy parish for bringing in such a great speaker and sharing this with the public.

Peace of Christ,

David Dawson
