What I’m Reading (2017) Installment 3

"The Name of God is Mercy" by Pope Francis

This small book is written in question and answer format, with Pope Francis answering the questions of a Vatican reporter. The topics range from the history of the church to its future. Pope Francis shares stories from his past in ministry as well as his hopes for the future of the church. It is a grace-filled book that offers a wonderful insight into the life and thinking of the leader of the Catholic Church. His heart for mercy is uplifting. This book is a wonderful counter-balance to all of the gloom, doom and bad news that normally floods into our days through the news and current events. So instead of turning on the TV, grab this book instead, I think you’ll be glad you did!
