Hope: The Autobiography

Reading this book feels like one is listening to our beloved Pope Francis speaking in his own voice with that warm smile on his face.It’s like a story being told on a fire place in late evenings somewhere in a little village called Kariba or any other small community setting for that matter.It’s a book to read.

An excellent book which expresses the heart of Pope Francis. His ministry is based on love. The love of everyone. All have sinned but can find mercy in God. No one is exclude from the Love of the Father. Everyone should be recognized as brother or sister. Our life’s focus should be on service to others not service to our self. The book is truly an inspiration. As in the end of the book, Pope Francis has gifted us both roots and wings to live each day forward.

Pope Francis explains a lot of how he came to some of his beliefs including the dictatorship in Argentina which was responsible for many deaths or imprisonment of clergy.

This autobiography of Pope Francis is a treasure. I have highlighted so many passages to 're-read' for prayerful contemplation. It is beautifully written and included some of the most profound thoughts and ideas that I have ever been exposed to. It is a 'must read' for all Catholics, practicing or not. Get yourself a copy, read it, and get back to church!

This book is for anyone who cares for their fellow man and the world. The words of Pope Francis are worth reading, no matter your beliefs.

What an interesting read.

Great book to give insight into Pope Francis.

In today's world of confusion, fear, and stress, Pope Francis book regarding his life, and his message of HOPE brought me peace, joy, and a true sense of fulfillment. The book itself is extremely engaging regarding the Pope's life, and very well written. However, the last few chapters are not to be missed. It is these chapters that offer a way of thinking that brings the reader a sense of JOY. THANK YOU POPE FRANCIS FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL BOOK.
