The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover
edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and
an afterword by James Martin, SJ.
"The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter
Jesus... In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful
to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while
pointing out new paths for the Church's journey in years to come."
This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores
themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining
the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those
hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his
creation. Advocating for "the homeless, the addicted, refugees,
indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and
abandoned," the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and
current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally.
Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal
relationship with Jesus Christ, "to recognize the traces of God's Spirit
in events great and small."
Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy
of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine
love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth.
Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey
to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A
Pilgrimage
