"""If the world had to pick a CEO of compassion, Pope Francis would fill the post ably. His words remind us of the opportunity to make every moment shine with grace and of the freedom that comes from opening our hearts."" -- ""Kristin Ohlson, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Kabul Beauty School"" ""Susan Stark and Dan Pierson have done us all a great favor by gathering gems from Pope Francis' statements during his first year as pope. Each selection touches on a key aspect of the pope's ministry; the sentences or paragraph selected capture his heart and spirit so well. With ample space for reflection, journaling, and sharing, this book serves well as a resource for individual reflection and small-group exchange. Evangelizers, pastors, preachers, religious education directors, and those serving as adult faith formators will cherish this wonderful collection."" -- ""Father Francis P. DeSiano, CSP, president of the Paulist Evangelization Ministries"""
