Most kids think of popes as old men who live quiet lives in the Vatican. In fact, danger surrounds every pope. From John Paul II (who was shot) all the way back to the first pope, the men God places in charge of His Church have been hated and attacked for their goodness and for the good the Church does. The Man Who Never Died recounts the adventures of the apostle Peter, the first pope, and explains how Peter, in giving his name and responsibilities to all the popes who follow him, became the man who never died: fulfilling the promise that Jesus made to him: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church,” the Church that remains standing today, and will last until the end of time.(from Goodreads)
