"Popes do not usually grant book-length interviews to journalists. And never before has a pope given as in-depth and extensive interview as this one, answering so many direct questions on so many personal and controversial topics. ... As believers and non-believers alike read this book, many will be challenged to reconsider what they think they know about Pope Benedict XVI and the future of the Catholic Church."--Inside flap.
