In Him Alone Is Our Hope: The Church According to the Heart of Pope Francis

by Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio

Overview

The Church according to the heart of Pope Francis.

In this book, following the spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio meditates upon the crucial issues at stake in the vocation of a bishop. In so doing, he offers us his vision of the Church, setting forth the outlines of what could well be the reform program of Pope Francis.

This book is an invitation that Pope Francis extends to each one of us: “And if you are willing to go on this retreat with me, are you ready to follow in the footsteps of the Lord?”

A rich, captivating text with a strong, uncom­promising message. It’s a spiritual page turner you won’t want to put down!
