This one-of-a-kind, illustrated biography of Pope Francis’s life offers more than 250 photographs and 50 removable documents that create a lasting keepsake of his legacy as “the Pope of the people”.
From the moment he was elected into the papacy, Pope Francis has captured the attention of the world with his humility, charisma, and reformist spirit. Written by Vatican Radio reporter Marie Duhamel, this intimate portrait includes his parents’ emigration from Italy, his birth as Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936, his love of soccer and opera as a child, the pneumonia that nearly cost him his life as a young adult, his calling to the priesthood, and his first encounter with poverty as a missionary in Chile that would change his life.
Duhamel chronicles Francis’s rise from priest to bishop to cardinal to the papacy, highlighting his courage to stand up to authority and his dedication to helping the poor.
Includes personal documents, photographs, and even handwritten notes to further illuminate his life and impact on the world.
