We're on a Mission from God: The Generation X Guide to John Paul II and the Real Meaning of Life

John Paul II is a pope for these times. He recognizes that today's young people have many questions. He sees emerging in them a deep and sincere faith struggling for definition and for support. In response, he has designated a special, bi-annual event - World Youth Day, where he comes to youth to bring the truth and the love of the Roman Catholic Church.

In this book, Mary Beth Bonacci joins with John Paul II in bringing young Catholics a clearer understanding of the Church and their role in it. She takes his quotes from the five World Youth Day events and "unpacks" them, explaining the truths of the faith clearly and concisely. This book is perfect for the Catholics of "Generation X" - and for Catholic "youth" of any age who wish to understand and to deepen their faith.

Mary Beth Bonacci is an internationally known speaker and writer. She is also a syndicated columnist and the author of the book We're on a Mission from God. Mary Beth holds a Master's degree in Theology of Marriage and Family from the John Paul II Institute, and an honorary Ph.D. in Communication from the Franciscan University of Steubenville.
