Francis

High Stakes

The pursuit of happiness is universal, and as his Holiness explains, there are no quick fixes. With his uniquely authoritative and informed perspective, Francis shows us how to address our deepest longings. Drawing on his own past experiences as a priest, His Holiness will discuss the meaning of - and journey towards - happiness, a subject of central importance in his teaching and testimony.For Pope Francis, the appreciation of our everyday lives is a spiritual undertaking. Joy is a divine attribute, and creating joy around us an essential part of faith. Every homily and speech in this book delivers a key lesson, instructing readers on finding love and happiness in a chaotic world. Pope Francis discusses the sanctity of women's rights, talks about how the love of sports can bring out our best qualities, and explains why fighting discrimination is the essence of love thy neighbour. He shares personal stories and anecdotes from his life, provides comforting messages of hope, and discusses the ways flawed families can make you a better person. The core ideas of Francis's papacy shine through.

A Passionate Meditation on Material Existence and the Meaning of Life

Happiness in This Life

The Ramplings may not be the perfect family, but eleven year old Nicholas has the perfect life. Within the walls of Violet Hill he is king: every demand, every whim of his heart gets fulfilled, and this capricious hunger to possess it all, brings about the deaths of many, including his parents, driving him mad. This madness incarcerates him as well as a group of neighboring friends within Violet Hill as the house comes alive, setting up a showdown between Nicholas and former best friend James, in a violent struggle to uncover family secrets, and the seven year old mystery behind the death of James' mother. Their minds unraveling in a maze of psychological and physical chaos, the group of friends led by James, find themselves tempted to sacrifice Nicholas if it means their freedom. And Nicholas, unable to escape his family's past, succumbs further into madness and is forced to choose between his life and that of his former friends; a decision that could lead him to salvation by facing death itself.

The Name of God is Mercy, Pope Francis' exploration on the universal theme of mercy, is a spiritual inspiration to both followers of Christianity and non-Christians around the world.Drawing on his own experience as a priest and shepherd, Pope Francis discusses mercy, a subject of central importance in his religious teaching and testimony, and in addition sums up other ideas - reconciliation, the closeness of God - that comprise the heart of his papacy. Written in conversation with Vatican expert and La Stampa journalist Andrea Tornielli, The Name of God is Mercy is directed at everyone, inside or outside of the Catholic Church, seeking meaning in life, a road to peace and reconciliation, or the healing of physical or spiritual wounds.
