The bestselling autobiography of Pope Francis' life is almost sold out, and for good reason. Since the beginning of his Pontificate, the Catholics in the United States have struggled to understand Pope Francis' vision, fueling arguments at all levels of the Church. With so many of his teachings being twisted by both liberal and conservative media for their own political purposes, it's been hard to study Pope Francis in any detail. Now, for the first time in the history of the Church, a sitting Pope has published an autobiography to help the faithful better understand his life, his intentions, his faith and his dreams for the near one billion Catholics he shepherds.
Written over six years, this complete autobiography starts with Pope Francis's Italian roots and his ancestors' courageous migration to Latin America, continuing through his vocation, adult life, and the whole of his papacy up to the present day. In recounting his memories with intimate narrative force, Pope Francis deals unsparingly with some of the crucial moments of his papacy and writes candidly, fearlessly, and prophetically about some of the most important and controversial questions of our present time: war and peace (including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), migration, environmental crisis, social policy, the position of women, sexuality, technological developments, the future of the Church and of religion in general.
Every single Catholic needs to read this book to understand the heart, mind, and motivations of the Holy Father, and to discern alongside him where the Holy Spirit is leading the faithful today. In fact, Pope Francis said he originally intended the book to be published after his death, but in light of everything the world is facing, he felt it needed to be made available today.
Make sure you order your copy before they sell out! Each book is available in hardcover and enhanced by remarkable photographs, including private and unpublished material made personally available by Pope Francis himself.
God bless you,
