A Gift for You


A few posts ago, I shared the story of the film "Nine Days that Changed the World", about Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Poland in 1979. Well, a good friend of ours just returned from Poland and Rome, Italy,  with Newt and Callista Gingrich (who hosted and produced the movie). They screened the movie in Krakow and Warsaw, and afterwards, they said the Polish people were in tears of gratitude for telling their story. When our friends were sharing the news, I was wishing we had been tucked in their suitcase so we could tag along too!:) What a wonderful experience for them.

Anyway, the neat result is that they give us extra copies to share. So...I thought I would have a little blog contest for you! If you are interested, just leave your name and e-mail address in the "comments" section and the winner will receive a copy of the film. I will pick a random winner on Sunday (Father's Day) and let you know!:)  Click here for the movie's official website.

  7. When I saw your blog post I bought one right away for my dad. His name is Karol too and he was actually confirmed by Pope John II in Zakopany (which was a town close enough to Krakow back when the Pope was still a cardinal!) So, I will be giving it to him this weekend for Fathers Day. Thank you.
