In his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis invites “all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ.” Drawing on that wisdom, Sri writes that Christ’s call to each of us is as powerful as the moment Caravaggio captured in “The Call of St. Matthew.” Jesus points, he invites — and Matthew must decide.

In his book, subtitled Rediscovering the Heart of a Disciple, Sri unpacks Evangelii Gaudium, making it accessible and actionable. Great for use by individuals or groups, each chapter concludes with questions for reflection or discussion.
