Publisher's summary

In this encouraging book, Pope Francis explores the meaning of true joy and offers an inspiring message: even in dark times, the light of hope can shine bright.

The past few years have been extremely challenging, but even in dark times, the light of joy can shine bright.

True joy, says Pope Francis, is not a fleeting sentiment or a short-term solution to suffering; it springs from a solid hope that nothing and no one can take away.

A Gift of Joy and Hope is an invitation to embrace authentic beauty and a reminder to be open to encountering God, even in the midst of challenges. In this inspiring collection, Pope Francis encourages listeners to change attitudes that exclude others; to reveal the deep dissatisfaction we all hide; and to overcome life’s challenges with courage and faith. He also challenges listeners to hope without pessimism or doubt, to hope even in the midst of anxiety, to recognize the beauty all around us, and to let God show us how to deal with your doubts and fears.

This book aims to encourage listeners to look outside themselves and believe that hope is still possible and that joy always has the last word.

Awsome! Understanding the man, the media has him totally wrong. Wow just beautiful.

He speaks completely different then every news channel or movie you ever seen or watched. If you really want to start on a journey to being holy for real, start here.

A great and powerful book

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself.. I found this book to be incredibly inspirational and a true gift. I found the intonations and inflections to be increasingly and the message unparalleled. I found such great relation with the story and I further highly recommended this book.
