In retrospect, this was best read not as an audiobook. For one thing, something about the narrator's cadence bothered me, but even more so, there's a lot here to digest, and if my attention wandered at all I missed major points for the chapter at hand. This isn't a single, coherent book, but a compilation of Pope Francis' speeches (and some writings) in his first year as pope, so it covers a broad range but doesn't go deep into everything. I'd like to read his latest book, and then possibly go back and read this more slowly. There's very little here that I disagree with, even though I disagree with some aspects of Catholic teaching, but Pope Francis doesn't spend time on the "culture wars" topics—he's much more concerned with how we live day to day, how we pray, and how we care for those most in need. Some of his advice is practical, though much of it is pretty overarching, which is not surprising since these were all relatively short speeches or writings. In any case, I'm glad I read this in advance of attending World Youth Day this summer.
