This was a very interesting book, telling the stories of ten different popes throughout history who had a huge impact on the world. From Peter, the first pope, to John Paul II, the pope during the last part of the twentieth century, these men certainly had different styles and interacted in profound ways according to their personalities and the historical circumstances that confronted them during their papacy, whether it be Pius XII serving during WWII or Paul III during the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent. This was a very enjoyable book and kept my interest on every page.
