 Good to Know Apr 24, 2008
By W. Easley
"Opa"
I purchased this item because I was curious to know the 10 things and because I have heard John Allen on television. I am happy with this small book. I am pleased for three reasons.
First John Allen writes well. He is easy to read and his writing holds my interest. Second, his summaries of Benedict's teaching seem to be accurate and clear. For example, his treatment of Benedict's teaching in God is Love is concise and true to that wonderful encyclical. God Is Love: Deus Caritas Est Third, the ten ideas that Allen presents are worth knowing.
The ten things Allen explains are:
1. God is Love
2. Jesus is Lord
3. Truth and Freedom are two sides of the same coin.
4. Faith and Reason need one another.
5. The Eucharist is the Heart of the Christian life.
6. Christianity is a positive message.
7. The Church forms consciences but stays out of politics.
8. The importance of Catholic identity.
9. Christ and the Church are Inseparable.
10. The Virtue of Patience.
Some of the explanations may surprise you. For example, in number seven, It is clear that, although Benedict wants the Church out of "politics," he pushes for progress. He calls for Rich nations to cancel the debt of poor states so the poor countries might grow their economy and care for their people.
I recommend this book. Although small in size, it contains much treasure.

 Pope Benedict XVI ... A Man for All Seasons Aug 27, 2008
By Jack McMahon
This is a short book with "pearls' scattered throughout the pages.
The Pope wants Catholics to learn and return to the basics of Catholicism.
The author John Allen uses the Pope's original writings and gives us 10 things the Pope wants us to know starting from God is Love to Christianity is about Patience. It is well written, precise and needs to be re-read to get the pearls and the message that moral relativism is deadly to the truth of Christ. John Allen does an excellent job of representing Pope Benedict's principles and well worth the time.
