The Private Diary of Pope Francis

The most personal, vulnerable and extraordinary book by a Pope ever published An extraordinary glimpse into the mind of Pope Francis through the personal diary he kept during his years in the Vatican, expressing his most intimate hopes and fears, questions and struggles. What goes on in the heart and mind of a pope? What if we consider him as a living, breathing human being? Throughout his time at the Vatican, Pope Francis held onto his identity as a mere man called to something far greater than himself, a man with gifts and flaws and desires - just like everybody else. In his personal diary, which he kept for over thirty years, Pope Francis offers an unparalleled and extraordinary insight into his inner life. For anyone who has wanted to understand him, both as a spiritual leader and a fellow human being, his diary is a gift and essential reading.
