Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future, due to be released in English on December 1st, is the first book written by a pope in response to a major crisis and offers unique, practical guidance from the world's pre-eminent spiritual leader on how to reflect on the pandemic as an opportunity to make a better world, a task which involves all of us. Pope Francis gives us hope – and a plan.
The book is the fruit of many exchanges between Pope Francis and his biographer, Austen Ivereigh, in the summer following the coronavirus lockdown. Written simultaneously in Spanish and English, in it Pope Francis addresses humanity in clear, lively and provocative prose on the great questions facing the world at this time, drawing on powerful episodes from his own life and a lifetime of leadership.
In this exclusive webinar, we will be speaking with Pope Francis' interlocutor and the compiler of this remarkable book, Dr Austen Ivereigh (co-founder of Catholic Voices). Austen will share his personal experience that took place to make this book a reality, as well as highlighting key insights from the book.
