Biography:
The Pope Who Quit by Jon Sweeney

The riveting story of Pope St. Celestine V, the pope who retired from the papacy. The Pope Who Quit pulls back the veil of secrecy on this dramatic time in history and showcases a story that involves deadly dealings, apocalyptic maneuverings, and papal intrigue.
General Interest:
Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives by Pope Benedict XVI
About the Book:
In 2007, Joseph Ratzinger published his first book as Pope Benedict XVI in order “to make known the figure and message of Jesus.” Now, the Pope focuses exclusively on the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life as a child. The root of these stories is the experience of hope found in the birth of Jesus and the affirmations of surrender and service embodied in his parents, Joseph and Mary.
