" You [could, if you win the auction ;-)] hold in your hands a very special book.
Oversized and beautifully crafted, This Man Bernardin is the visual diary of one of our nation's foremost religious leaders - Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, the Archbishop of Chicago. "

" The 180 striking black-and-white photos featured in this book capture the essence of the man who is Bernardin.
Journey with the Cardinal from his Depression-era childhood to South Carolina to his present position as spiritual leader of the second-largest Catholic diocese in America - serving over 2.3 million parishioners. "

" Given unprecedented access to the Cardinal's daily life, Pulitzer-Prize-winning photojournalist John H. White takes you beyond the normal barriers and into the private life of a very public man.
Bernardin's own words - collected from pastoral letters, homilies, personal interviews, and other writings - have been chosen to frame White's stunning duotone photographs. "

" White and Bernardin first met in New York City in 1979, when White was assigned to cover Pope John Paul II's visit to the United States.
A special friendship grew between White, an African-American photojournalist and son of a Protestant minister, and Bernardin, then the Archbishop of Cincinnati and son of Italian immigrants.
With Bernardin's trust, White has been able to observe and record the life of an American cardinal as no other photographer before him. "

" In these pages you move with Cardinal Bernardin through his ministry - from boardrooms to hospital rooms, from cathedrals to prison cells.
You see the most highly publicized events of his life with new intimacy, including the national news conference after false allegations of sexual misconduct.
You witness the Cardinal deep in solitary prayer, you stand with him a few days after his cancer surgery, you walk with him in the mountains of his parents' homeland in Italy, you share his special visits with his ninety-one-year old mother. "

" The elegant text of award-winning author, psychologist, teacher, and friend Eugene Kennedy complements John H. White's poignant photography and leads the reader ever deeper into the world of This Man Bernardin. "
