Walking with Jesus: A Way Forward for the Church
About this audiobook
Two thousand years ago Jesus said, "Follow me." What if the twenty-first-century church actually heeded that call? What would the world look like if the church were truly on the move? Simply put, very different. But these ponderings beg one more critical question: What exactly should the church be moving toward?
In Walking with Jesus: A Way Forward for the Church, Pope Francis' own words lead us to the answer. Francis urges us to make Jesus central in our individual lives and in the collective life of the church—to walk toward him, and ultimately to walk with him at all times and in all places.
Walking with Jesus offers the church a much-needed way forward, past its inner and outer walls, as it fearlessly follows Christ toward the future.

About the author
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, POPE FRANCIS has been the Pope of the Catholic Church since March 13, 2013, when he became the 266th pontiff. He is the first Latin American and the first Jesuit to lead the Roman Catholic Church—and the first non-European leader of the church in 1,200 years. He took the name Francis after St. Francis of Assisi. Born in Buenos Aires in 1936 to Italian immigrant parents, Pope Francis was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1969. He became a bishop in 1992 and the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, and, in 2001, was appointed as a cardinal by Pope John Paul II. Devoted to rectifying social injustices and economic inequality, Pope Francis has said that he “would like to see a church that is poor and is for the poor.”
