What to expect
God planted happiness in the souls of each of us. God wants us to be happy. But so many of us have misunderstood what this means, and we search for fulfilment in the wrong places. In I Want You To Be Happy, Pope Francis explains the characteristics of true, lasting happiness, no matter your circumstances or situation.
In this new book, which quickly became his biggest bestseller in many years in Italy when it was published in 2022, Pope Francis shares wisdom and encouragement to help readers seek God's will and His best. The short, accessible chapters allow distill the message into bite-sized readings, and can be read all at once or in daily segments.
This collection of inspiring pieces will encourage, inspire, and remind all readers that God cares and wants to live and love well.
