Written over six years, this complete autobiography starts in the early years of the twentieth century, with Pope Francis's Italian roots and his ancestors' courageous migration to Latin America, continuing through his childhood, the enthusiasms and preoccupations of his youth, his vocation, adult life, and the whole of his papacy up to the present day.In recounting his memories with intimate narrative force (not forgetting his own personal passions), 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 times: 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.Hope includes a wealth of revelations, anecdotes, and illuminating thoughts. It is a thrilling and very human memoir, moving and sometimes funny, which represents the "story of a life" and, at the same time, a touching moral and spiritual testament that will fascinate readers throughout the world and will be Pope Francis's legacy of hope for future generations.The book is enhanced by remarkable photographs, including private and unpublished material made personally available by Pope Francis himself.<h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://bookfinity.com/book/I%20Want%20You%20to%20Be%20Happy%3A%20Finding%20Peace%20and%20Abundance%20in%20Everyday%20Life/9781546007975">I Want You to Be Happy: Finding Peace and Abundance in Everyday Life</a></h3>by Pope Francis<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><a href="http://bookfinity.com/book/I%20Want%20You%20to%20Be%20Happy%3A%20Finding%20Peace%20and%20Abundance%20in%20Everyday%20Life/9781546007975"><img data-ot-ignore src="https://CWSImages.ingramcontent.com/cdsImages/imageloader?id=qVUCQSjw0OqdZ5S4giONgeLqyqng84MvDDwI1Lm25SfjfBSXe2JoymbJcWRNwyuKbiqTTiTwnlsx5qYUHpJg2k0DLyY0fn/JEL3CgwJ9d9Smc2/f67LlXZDfpODSy2/ZihYcNoQbK3OjKk1VoHVQs1/WUGDT5m3AhxPnBMq9Azw=&amp;size=640" alt="isbn: 9781546007975,template: list"></a></figure>An invitation from Pope Francis to discover the joy, peace, and fulfillment God desires for you.Happiness is not just a fleeting feeling--it is a deep and abiding sense of peace, love, and purpose that comes from living in harmony with God's will.

Pope Francis, with his gestures and his words, is an indomitable witness of hope, understood as the spiritual action of one who does not surrender to the night of evil in the world and does not make do with the worn-out words of consolation that are often repeated like slogans. He who lives by hope, on the other hand, says Francis, collaborates with God to 'make all things new'.<h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://bookfinity.com/book/Life%3A%20My%20Story%20Through%20History/9780063387546">Life: My Story Through History</a></h3>by Pope Francis Pope Francis - Aubrey Botsford<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><a href="http://bookfinity.com/book/Life%3A%20My%20Story%20Through%20History/9780063387546"><img data-ot-ignore src="https://CWSImages.ingramcontent.com/cdsImages/imageloader?id=S4mHHRsnsExoQuAmFpgVLR+zD5Hrgo1vQPLMZIUc+d/hlhXceLtOawAHqNjmha4qaibffH3yQHp/IQD0FkPCN49u16By6EtKj5g9xfBFe7jMzI5HUBESRf0/AVtDqDchnfHF8D+IxOxQEX2Mlq1yLkGdtcW+FDAYQOrtseE4f6s=&amp;size=640" alt="isbn: 9780063387546,template: list"></a></figure>For the first time, Pope Francis tells the story of his life as he looks back on the momentous world events that have changed history--from his earliest years during the outbreak of World War II in 1939 to the turmoil of today.An extraordinary personal and historical journey, Life is the story of a man and a world in dramatic change. Pope Francis recalls his life through memories and observations of the most significant occurrences of the past eight decades, from the Holocaust to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Videla's coup in Argentina to the moon landing in 1969, and even the 1986 World Cup in which Maradona scored the unforgettable "hand of God" goal.Here are the frank assessments and intimate insights of a pastor reflecting on the Nazi extermination of the Jews, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 2001 terrorist attack on America and the collapse of the Twin Towers, the great economic recession of 2008, the Covid-19 pandemic, the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI, and the subsequent conclave that elected him Pontiff. The "pope callejero" recounts these world-changing moments with the candor and compassion that distinguishes him, and offers important messages on major crises confronting us now, including social inequalities, climate change, international war, atomic weapons, racial discrimination, and the battles over social and cultural issues.Translated from the Italian by Aubrey Botsford &nbsp;&nbsp;
