    "A Life 'Transfixed' by God's Look of Love"
  

*by R***C on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2013*

The title of this review refers to the title of the last chapter of the book inspired by a creed Jorge Bergoglio wrote shortly before he was ordained a priest.  "Love" (along with humility) certainly characterizes the pope's first months in the Chair of Peter.  The themes of love and humility run throughout the book as well.  The author is a long time Vatican correspondent who is clearly a fan of the new pope.  He starts the book in the conclave and quickly comes to the election and presentation of the new pope.  Chapter Two is dedicated to Benedict and papal resignations.  The next chapter provides an insider look into events leading up to the conclave, the conclave itself, and the immediate aftermath.  The bulk of the remainder of the volume is a look at the life of Francis up until his election.  Details regarding particular struggles due to the political situation of Argentina throughout his ordained life dominate the story and give us a look at how the man has dealt with challenges in the past.  Then come Francis's words and actions in the immediate aftermath of his election followed by what his past and present approaches may indicate about his rule and some opinions (hopes?) from the author on what he would like to see.  A short interview the author had with Card. Bergoglio in early 2012 is transcribed as well.  The book closes with the marvelous personal creed mentioned above.A significant part of the text on Bergoglio's life pre-papacy is excerpts from the 2010 interview book, "El Jesuita," of which I was happy to have an early translation (the entire book is out in English with the title "Pope Francis: His Life in His Own Words" by Ambrogetti and Rubin).  In fact, throughout the book, the author provides substantial excerpts from books, magazine and newspaper articles, homilies, and so on.  This book likely contains the first English translations of many of these.I very much appreciated this work.  The author's journalistic style gives the book a personal flavor in which one really feels like he gets to know the new pontiff.  Highly recommended as a way to get to know Pope Francis in much more than a cursory way.

    Love and Mercy
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2013*

Curious about the new Pope, I picked this up and it is a quick read. The beginning is a recitation of the events leading up to his appointment after the resignation of Pope Benedict. If you read the papers you know this. There are chapters dealing with his youth in Argentina and his call to the Priesthood and that makes for interesting reading. The best parts of the book are the later chapters which contain excerpts of past interviews with Pope Francis and stories from his past which reveal his character and the type of Pope he will be. Pope Francis comes through in this book as a humble, caring man filled with love and mercy with a devotion to the poor. He is a bright light in an increasingly cloudy world. Recommended to those who are looking for a introduction to Pope Francis.

    Excellent study of a new pope and a new pontificate
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2013*

The election of a new pope usually brings a flurry of books to study the new successor of St Peter. Andrea Tornielli produced this biographical study on Pope Francis within 10 days of his election as Bishop of Rome. This would seem to be an amazing feat, but for the fact that Tornielli had interviewed Jorge Mario Bergoglio on several occasions in the last year and, as a journalist for Torino's newspaper, "La Stampa", was extraordinarily well prepared to cover the conclave. That said, Tornielli has produced an insightful study of the new pope's background, life, studies, vocation, ministry and influence. The book is filled with excerpts from previous interviews that Tornelli and others had done with Pope Francis when he was the Cardinal Archbishop of Buenos Aires, as well as with interviews with family members, parishioners, Jesuit confreres and many members of the Catholic population in Buenos Aires. The final book is an exciting first glimpse of the new pope and the opening days of what may well be an epoch-changing pontificate.
