Image Books, 2015
192 pages, hardcover $20

In a series of interviews and reflections, the leader of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for the Family focuses on the intricacies of family. Bishop Laffitte provides theological and practical insight to deepen readers’ relationships with parents, children, siblings and, ultimately, God.

Subtitled A Call to Wholeness, Abundant Life, and Enduring Happiness, the book stresses the importance of the family in the 21st century and issues a call to action for everyone to reinvigorate the teachings of Jesus in one’s life. Bishop Laffitte says the greatest joy for a Christian is to pursue the purpose for which God created him or her.
