Book Event: George Weigel’s Lessons in Hope: My Unexpected Life with St. John Paul II


On Wednesday, September 20, 2017, EPPC and the Catholic Information Center are sponsoring an event to celebrate the release of EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel’s new book Lessons in Hope: My Unexpected Life with St. John Paul II.

Bishop Robert Barron says of Mr. Weigel’s book:

“This book recalls a particularly splendid moment in the recent history of Catholicism, a time when a saintly Pope exerted a decisive influence on both the Church and the wider society. But above all, it tells a compelling story of divine providence, the manner in which God wove two lives together-George Weigel’s and John Paul II’s-for their mutual benefit. Briskly written, intelligent, funny, filled with good stories, Lessons in Hope will be a joy to anyone who reads it.”

Here are the details for the event:

Wednesday, September 20, 2017
