Description
The groundbreaking, intimate and inspiring memoir from Pope Francis.
The wish of Pope Francis was for HOPE, on which he has been working for six years, to be published posthumously. However, with the Jubilee Year of Hope coming in 2025 and the pressing needs of our times, he has been urged to share this personal legacy now.
HOPE is the revelatory first-ever autobiography to be published by a sitting Pope. Beginning in the early years of the twentieth century, Pope Francis tells the story of his life from his childhood in Buenos Aires to his calling and the entirety of his papacy to the present day. While doing so, he reflects on controversial questions, from global conflicts to the future of the Church, and discusses his personal passions, from football to tango.
HOPE is both powerful and intimate, inspiring and full of stories never told before. It is 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 represent his legacy of hope for future generations.
