The groundbreaking, intimate and inspiring memoir from Pope Francis.
Pope Francis originally intended this exceptional book to appear only
after his death, but the needs of our times and the 2025 Jubilee Year
of Hope have moved him to make this precious legacy available now.
HOPE is the first autobiography in history ever to be published by a
Pope. Written over six years, this complete autobiography starts in the
early years of the twentieth century, with Pope Francis’s Italian roots
and his ancestors’ courageous migration to Latin America, continuing
through his childhood, the enthusiasms and preoccupations of his youth,
his vocation, adult life, and the whole of his papacy up to the present
day.
In recounting his memories with intimate narrative force (not
forgetting his own personal passions), Pope Francis deals unsparingly
with some of the crucial moments of his papacy and writes candidly,
fearlessly and prophetically about some of the most important and
controversial questions of our present times: war and peace (including
the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), migration, environmental
crisis, social policy, the position of women, sexuality, technological
developments, the future of the Church and of religion in general.
HOPE includes a wealth of revelations, anecdotes and illuminating
thoughts. It is a thrilling and very human memoir, moving and sometimes
funny, which represents 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 be Pope Francis’s legacy of hope for
future generations.

The harrowing story of a man brought to rock bottom again and again
by abuse, mental illness, spiritual attack and his own wilful
nature. A story of loss and alienation, of loved ones driven away
and chances squandered. Ultimately, however, a story of hope and
grace, of dreams and visions; a testament to the unshakeable
faithfulness of Jesus Christ and a witness to the fact that there
is no pit so deep He cannot reach into it and rescue. The story of
Clive Jackson - a man with an extraordinary God.
A stream of anecdotes of colourful and varied characters, with
vivid, saucy descriptions, self-deprecating humour, thoughts and
feelings about life and God, family troubles, friendships and help
received, prayers and parties - a human account of a parson's life.
I tell of characterful ancestors, wartime childhood, classy youth,
a grim and glamorous National Service, Cambridge in the '50s,
labouring in a steelworks, curacy in industrial Sheffield and later
another at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, followed by parishes in
Sandwich, Broadstairs and Dorset, to hunting, sailing and times in
Scotland. People have often said, "You're not like any of the other
Vicars I've met" - only half true and probably a very good thing
for the Church of England! I've been changed by visits to Iona,
Taize, Israel, a Kenyan shanty town and India in the steps of
Gandhi.
A spiritual journeyman for over forty years, medium/clairvoyant,
teacher, speaker and healer, Caroline (aka Jenny Walker Knight) now
tells her story: From her birth, through illness, to marriage and
motherhood; from early spiritual awakenings, to the depths and
insights of spiritual philosophies, religions and 'truths'; through
the travail of violent conflicts and dogma, to the vocational
enlightenment of the Great Work at hand - that of man's
evolutionary growth - the purpose of this, her present incarnation.
And yet, in a world of ever-increasing war and materialism the
blessings of 'spiritual gifts' are as a curse to those preferring
to cast their fate to the winds of ignorant bliss. If God exists,
no matter how you perceive God to be, is there a place for Him
amongst those he created to be as gods? You decide!
S. Anthony of Padua is one of the most popular saints of the
Church, and the story of his life is well known. His status as a
mediaeval intellect and a writer is much less widely known although
S. Anthony was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1946. In this
book Dr Severn explores S. Anthony the Evangelical Doctor,
considering his intellectual inheritance, his writings and his
influence on future thought.
Published to coincide with Mother Teresa's expected canonization in
early September 2016
