This deeply contextual biography centers on the tensions generated by the pope’s attempt to turn the Church away from power and tradition and outwards to engage humanity with God’s mercy. Through battles with corrupt bankers and worldly cardinals, in turbulent meetings and on global trips, history’s first Latin-American pope has attempted to reshape the Church to evangelize the contemporary age. At the same time, he has stirred other leaders’ deep-seated fear that the Church is capitulating to modernity.

Drawing on the wisdom of Pope Francis and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Austen Ivereigh has written a captivating spiritual guide for our turbulent age. Designed as an eight-day Ignatian retreat, First Belong to God serves as a roadmap to deeper discipleship. It does this by focusing on the three foundational forms of belonging: to God, to creation, and to others. Whether you’re embarking on a solitary spiritual expedition or a journey with like-minded individuals, First Belong to God offers the next best thing to a personal retreat with Pope Francis.

Em seu livro, Papa Francisco nos lembra que o primeiro dever dos cristãos é servir aos outros, assim como fez Jesus. Com referências não apenas de fontes religiosas, mas das descobertas mais recentes de cientistas, economistas, ativistas e outros pensadores renomados, nos apresenta um projeto inspirador e tangível para construirmos um mundo melhor para toda a humanidade, colocando os pobres, as comunidades marginalizadas e o planeta em primeiro lugar.
