Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Bob on May 10, 2021

Walking with Jesus is a collection of homilies and addresses early in Pope Francis's tenure as pontiff. After listening to this audiobook it becomes clear why I have returned to the Roman Catholic faith after nearly a 20-year hiatus. It is an excellent book that reaffirms I made the right choice to......more

Goodreads review by Michael on December 28, 2022

Beautiful exposition of the faith. Let no man state that Pope Francis is theologically uninformed - I’ve even heard, “third world thinker.” (Which seems kinda racist) Though fundamentally pastoral, rather than theological, Pope Francis engaged - in the spirit of nouvelle théologie - with the scriptur......more

Goodreads review by Lori on December 29, 2018

I would give the content a 4 star rating, but the narrator a 2 star, thus I am settling on 3 stars. There are some great gems in these short speeches by Pope Francis - it is an eclectic mix of different audiences and occasions, so it is a bit disjointed at times. The narrator wasn't the worst I've e......more

Goodreads review by Michael on March 07, 2025

There is a charm to the simplicity of this book, collected as it is, from sermons, pontifical ex-cathedra, homilies, discourses and messages and compiled into a nice summa of the catholic faith, as I wish it were. In fact, there is very little (but for exposition on the sacraments) that the protesta......more
