George Weigel incisively surveys the current state of the Church around the world: its thriving populations in Africa, Latin America, and parts of the post communist world; its collapse in western Europe; its continued struggles in Asia; and the vibrancy of many aspects of Catholic life in the United States, even as the Church in America struggles to overcome its recent experience of scandal.
Reflecting on John Paul II's greatness, drawing on firsthand interviews to paint an intimate portrait of the New Pope, and boldly assessing the Church's current condition, God's Choice is an invaluable book for anyone seeking to understand the Catholic future and the larger human future the Church will help to shape.
