Product Details
Charles Murphy was working on a book about evangelization in the Catholic Church where he proposed that the best way to evangelize was to follow the path of St. Francis. Just when he finished the manuscript, the new pope chose Francis as his papal name and the model for his pontificate. The ideas Pope Francis proposed as he moved forward in his papacy fell neatly into line with many of the ideas presented in Murphy's book. Murphy feels this in not a coincidence.
In the first part of the book he explores "the similarities of St. Francis's world and our in the terms of evangelization". A need is there to not just follow Christ but to take on the mind of Christ. In the second part of the book he talks about what taking on the mind of Christ would entail and gives helpful applications as to how this can be done. "Perhaps the new way of evangelizing is not so much through confrontation and argument but through conversation and affirmation". A section in the back of the book tells "stories depicting one or another of the aspects of Franciscan spirituality alive today". A forward by Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley OFM is also included.
