English Summary/英文概要： The story of the friendship between a Jewish-American conductor and Pope John Paul II
This book offers the inspirational story of an unlikely friendship and the two men who collaborated in an extraordinary way to begin to help heal centuries-old wounds. For two decades Sir Gilbert Levine and Pope John Paul II collaborated on symbolic acts of reconciliation: a series of internationally broadcast concerts designed to bring together people from all religious backgrounds under the auspices of the Vatican. These concerts broke new ground and demonstrated the Vatican’s desire for rapprochement and even atonement in its relationships with Jews around the world. And it resulted in Sir Gilbert recovering his own Jewish faith in a deeper and more meaningful way.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 讲述犹太裔美国籍指挥家和教皇保罗二世间的友谊的故事。给人启迪。这两位男性有着难得的友谊，他们合作无间，共同开启治疗数百年的伤痛之路。二十年来，吉尔伯特·李文爵士和教皇保罗二世的携手有着和解的象征意义：梵蒂冈出资筹备了一系列向世界广播的音乐会，目的是让不同宗教背景的人们携起手来。这些音乐会开拓了新疆界，表达了梵蒂冈想和全球犹太人民恢复友好关系甚至赎罪的意愿。结果吉尔伯特爵士重拾自己的犹太信仰，其方式具有深远意义。(兼职翻译-SXX)

Awards/获奖情况：不是所有书都值得写；这本绝对值得，因为它讲述了和平会降临，一次出现在一颗心中。而当这颗心属于有影响力、有天赋的人们时，就能带来助益。这里被谈论的心首先属于作者李文，指挥家，在布鲁克林降生的犹太人，大屠杀幸存者的女婿。另一颗呢？属于波兰籍教皇约翰·保罗二世，他现在也许已经封圣。李文和已故的教皇结识于令人如痴如醉的80年代末（铁幕政权缓缓在东欧倒台），当时音乐家身任克拉科夫爱乐乐团的指挥。之后，两人成为心灵之友，一起合作举办音乐会，致力于罗马天主教和犹太人的和解，拉近两者距离，缓解历史伤痛。在9/11事件之后，他们的目标是缓和亚伯拉罕地区三大宗教的关系。这一精彩但鲜为人知的故事值得大家关注。（10月）（《出版人周刊》，2010年8月16日）
Not all books are worth writing; this one assuredly is, because it tells how peace can happen, one heart at a time. It helps when the hearts beat in people of influence and talent. The hearts in question are, first, that of author Levine, a conductor, Brooklyn-born Jew, and son-in-law of a Holocaust survivor. The other heart? Polish-born Pope John Paul II, who may be headed to sainthood. Levine and the late pope became acquainted when the musician became the conductor of the Krakow Philharmonic in the heady days of the late 1980s, as the Iron Curtain slowly crumbled in Eastern Europe. Levine and the pope became spiritual friends, collaborating on papal-sponsored concerts of reconciliation intended to ease estrangement and pained history between Catholic Christians and Jews, and, post-September 11, among the three Abrahamic religions. This remarkable and little-known story deserves attention. (Oct.) (Publishers Weekly, August 16, 2010)
