To start off with a jewel of a book: Rise, Let Us Be On The Way, by John Paul IIChronicling the years he spent as a bishop, and later Archbishop, in Krakow, though to his election as the first Polish Pope in 1978, he recounts everything from Communist attempts to suppress the Church in Poland to his efforts to adopt a new and more open style of pastoral ministry.
