POPE FRANCIS Releases New Bestseller The Name of God is Mercy

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Father John I. Jenkins, C.S.C,  who is the President of the University of Notre Dame. He will discuss the book.

On December 8, 2015, Pope Francis opened the holy doors of Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican to celebrate the start of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, a liturgical year of mercy and reconciliation for the Church. Timed to this Holy year, Random House is honored to be publishing The Name of God is Mercy, the first book by His Holiness, Pope Francis written during his papacy with his full editorial involvement. This book, which will be published on Tuesday, January 12th in 85 countries and in simultaneous hardcover, eBook, and audio editions in the United States and in Canada, in English and Spanish, will serve as a central resource for the Holy Year of Mercy and help spread the Holy Father’s teachings of forgiveness, hope, and service and be a source that people can turn to in the years to come. 

In this international publishing event, Pope Francis addresses all humanity in an intimate and personal dialogue. At the center of this book is the subject closest to his heart—mercy—which has long been the cornerstone of his faith and is now the central teaching of his papacy. These pages resonate with a desire to reach all those souls who are looking for meaning in life, a road to peace and reconciliation, and the healing of physical and spiritual wounds.
