The bestselling author, speaker, and teacher of John Paul II's Theology of the Body offers the first well-thought-out look into the heart and style of Pope Francis and his proclamation of the Gospel.This new book by Christopher West reflects on and shares the wisdom of Pope Francis’s The Joy Of The Gospel. Don’t be fooled by the “to go” title, as if the point were to rush through the contents of this book. Rather, Christopher wants to make Pope Francis’s wisdom accessible to those who might not have the time to sift through his document in its entirety.Francis observes that ministers of the new evangelization “should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty, and who invite others to a delicious banquet”. That’s Christopher's intention in putting this little book together: to share the joy, point to the beauty, and invite you to the delicious banquet he’s discovered in Pope Francis’s teaching. Bon appetit!Praise for POPE FRANCIS TO GO...“The world is thirsting for the gospel. Unfortunately, in recent times, the mainstream media has been polluting the streams of water that have been flowing out of Rome. As a result, countless Catholics read the words of Pope Francis only after his message has been garbled and misinterpreted. Thanks to Christopher West’s new book, Pope Francis to Go, we can draw deeply from the well of the great heart of Pope Francis. Christopher’s prayerful and powerful commentary on The Joy of the Gospel offers practical insights on not only how to share the good news, but more importantly, how to live it.” –Jason Evert, Author, Speaker, Cofounder of The Chastity Project“Once again, Christopher West delivers a wonderful ‘sampler’ of papal thoughts for believers to easily access and chew over even in the midst of the busyness of daily life. Whoever takes pause and even for five minutes allows themselves time to daily ponder these gems of Pope Francis will be richly rewarded. The Joy of the Gospel, concentrated so powerfully in this little book, will bring new strength and hope!”–Bill Donaghy, Curriculum Specialist, Instructor, Speaker, Theology of the Body Institute“In Pope Francis to Go, Christopher West packages Pope Francis’s teaching into small grab bags that are perfect for our sound-bite culture. It provides essential quotes for teachers, Catholic journalists like myself, and all the faithful who want to spread Francis’s message but don’t have the time to take a highlighter through The Joy of the Gospel.”–Katie Breidenbach, Reporter, NET-TV (Brooklyn, NY)About The Author...Christopher West is a proud husband and father of five. His global lecturing, best-selling books, and multiple audio and video programs have also made him the world’s most recognized teacher of Saint John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body,” a bold, biblical vision of love and sexuality that takes us to the “cor” of what it means to be human. As founder and president of The Cor Project, he leads an international outreach devoted to spreading this liberating teaching and empowering others to live and share it. His work has been featured in The New York Times, on ABC News, Fox News, MSNBC, Sirius XM and countless Catholic and Evangelical media outlets. Beyond his work as a populizer of the Theology of the Body, Christopher has been teaching graduate and undergraduate courses on the subject since the late 1990’s, having served on the faculties of Saint John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver, the Institute of Priestly Formation in Omaha, and as a visiting professor of the John Paul II Institute in Melbourne, Australia.
