Pope Francis appears to be changing the face of Roman Catholicism. He has infused what some consider a staid institution with openness and optimism. He has faced off against established power interests within the Vatican. He has reformed the Church's finances. And, most importantly, he has asked that Catholics approach one another and non-Catholics with candor, humility, and love. He has made the papacy and the Church relevant once again.

A pope of the people, Pope Francis' teachings have been praised and shared by the faithful and nonreligious alike. Exploring themes such as faith and prayer, love and family, peace and poverty, this collection is accessible to all who admire the man and are inspired by his wisdom. Included in this gift-format edition are fifteen chapters on wide-ranging topics including:

  • On Family
  • On the Law of Love
  • On the Nature of God
  • On Humility and Faith
  • On Sacrifice and Suffering
  • On Prayer
  • On Peace

        This little book, edited by journalist Assaf, contains a scattering of the sayings and writings of Pope Francis, one quotation per page. Regrettably, none is attributed to a particular speech, occasion, or date, so that the reader must take Assaf's word for their accuracy. Issued at the same time, a testament to Francis' growing popularity, are Alicia von Stamwitz's The Blessing of Family and Diane M. Houdek's The Joy of Advent. VERDICT Each of these brief volumes is suitable as a gift to devout readers; the Little Book will be a perfect stocking stuffer.
