Encountering Truth Review

Encountering Truth is an insightful and wonderful collection of homilies from Pope Francis at masses in an entire year. I chose to read this around the Year of Mercy so I could find ways to become a better, well-rounded Christian. Many of the homilies are about seeking peace and humility, and thanks to this book I am sure to lead a more humble life following the example of Jesus. I will do my part to feed and advocate for the hungry, heal the sick, and care for the homeless near my community.  Mentions a little bit about unfaithful priests and bishops involved in scandals. A reminder to not idolize money and power and to focus on growing as a person who follows up their faith with good works. As the pope notes, faith without works is just words. 5/5 stars and a must-read for religious and non-religious to understand and admire this incredible man of God uniting the world in a time of injustice, persecution, and hatred.
