Overview

This new edition includes a larger format, full color, and additional content! Jorge Bergoglio was just an ordinary teenager in Argentina, until the autumn day he decided to stop by a church. That's when he hears an astonishing call. But that's only the beginning of Jorge's adventures, which take him into the Jesuit order, the priesthood, serving the poor, and into a bitter conflict when his country is involved in a sinister Dirty War. But Jorge keeps trying to follow Christ, no matter where He leads - even to Rome and the heart of the Church! The amazing true story of Pope Francis, and his experience of the mercy of God. This edition includes: more coverage of Pope Francis' travels and teachings since becoming pope (and since the last edition was published), an appendix so that readers can read fun facts and source material, a map of Vatican City, Pope Francis' coat of arms (both as pope and as cardinal), an explanation of the Swiss Guards, and the history of pope mobiles!

Pope Francis: I Believe in Mercy is extremely well done and is a way to inspire young people to follow Jesus as Pope Francis has striven to do in his own life. -- Peter Fagnant, Catholic Media Review Endorsement

It's always exciting to see the lives of such holy and heroic people promoted and to see their stories being told. It's particularly pleasing to see how the Manga Hero books are reaching out and delivering these stories to young people in a popular style they can relate to. -- Tim Staples, Catholic Evangelist Endorsement This book combines two of my favorite people: Regina Doman and Pope Francis. It does it in a way that, I'll admit, is new to me...Manga? Isn't that a fruit or something? Meet them where they are, and that's what this does, and near as I can tell, it does it well. And the story? Well. It's good. And true. -- Sarah Reinhard, Blogger at Snoring Scholar and CatholicMom.com Endorsement Pope Francis: I Believe in Mercy is extremely well done and is a way to inspire young people to follow Jesus as Pope Francis has striven to do in his own life. -- Peter Fagnant, Catholic Media Review Endorsement
