This deeply contextual biography centers on the tensions generated by the pope’s attempt to turn the Church away from power and tradition and outwards to engage humanity with God’s mercy. Through battles with corrupt bankers and worldly cardinals, in turbulent meetings and on global trips, history’s first Latin-American pope has attempted to reshape the Church to evangelize the contemporary age. At the same time, he has stirred other leaders’ deep-seated fear that the Church is capitulating to modernity.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 481
In his first official book published as Pope, in celebration of his Jubilee of Mercy, Pope Francis here addresses all humanity in an intimate and personal dialogue. At the center of this book is the subject closest to his heart - mercy, which has long been the cornerstone of his faith and is now the central teaching of his papacy. These words resonate with a desire to reach all those souls who are looking for meaning in life, a road to peace and reconciliation, and the healing of physical and spiritual wounds.

Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece, this audiobook declares his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Retelling mankind's story from the very beginning, he shows how all human desires are fulfilled in the person of Christ and Christ's church. With his characteristic brilliance and irony, he argues that Christianity is not just a religion to stand beside other religions, for the fact of the Incarnation sets it apart.

Publisher's Summary
"[A] beautiful book of hope and inspiration... Pope Francis speaks frankly about problems facing the young and the elderly, Catholic and non-Catholic." (Publishers Weekly)
Pope Francis examines the role of millennials in the future of the Catholic Church in this urgent call to believers of all generations to work together to build a better world.
Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has reinvigorated the Catholic Church and become one of the most popular global leaders. Now, in this extraordinary interview with journalist Thomas Leoncini, His Holiness reminds Catholics of all ages that "God is young; he is always new". God has energy, spontaneity, and the desire for change - youthful qualities that can be rallied to fight the many problems facing the Catholic Church and the world at large.
In this inspiring volume, published in English for the first time, Pope Francis's solution to these challenges is simple: a "revolution of tenderness" that unites believers of all ages in a mission to remake the world. "God is young! God is the Eternal One who has no time but is able to renew and rejuvenate himself and all things continually. The most distinctive attributes of the young are also his. He is young because he makes all things new and loves innovation; because he astonishes and loves astonishment; because he dreams and wants us to dream." (Pope Francis)
Praise for God Is Young:
"Enlightening... The interview is extremely wide-ranging. [Pope Francis's] answers contemplate not only philosophy but such quotidian things as plastic surgery, pets, cell phones, consumerism, and more. The pope's answers are generous in their length, some being even mini homilies. But all are thoughtful and thought-provoking, of interest and benefit to readers of all ages." (Booklist)

What a serious yet delightful book by Pope Francis. Pope cautions young people against losing their humanity due to technology. Respect our fragile environment. Always so inspiring!
