Early on the evening of March 13, 2013, the newly elected Pope Francis stepped out onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica and did something remarkable: before he imparted his blessing to the crowd, he asked the crowd to bless him, then bowed low to receive this grace. In the days that followed, Mark K. Shriver - along with the rest of the world - was astonished to see a pope who paid his own hotel bill, eschewed limousines, and made his home in a suite of austere rooms in a Vatican guesthouse.

Intimate view of Pope Francis and sincere seeking
Revisado: 01-04-17
What made the experience of listening to Pilgrimage the most enjoyable?
I would call it an investigative journalism of the heart. The story unfolds through discoveries as the full picture of Francis emerges. The fact that the spiritual seeker carries the legacy of the Kennedy and Shriver families adds to the interest.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Pope Francis...a man humble and perceptive enough to see Christ in ALL or EACH ONE.
What does Jim Frangione bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He really chracterizes each of the interviewees in their voives and rhythms...dramatizing the encounters.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Coming from a powerful family, he found the power of love
Any additional comments?
If you enjoyed the recent "Call Me Francis" series on Netflix, I think you'll find it especially helpful and rewarding.

Mad Women is a tell-all account of life in the New York advertising world of the 1960s and '70s from Jane Maas, a female copywriter who succeeded in the primarily male environment portrayed by the hit TV show Mad Men. Fans of the show are dying to know how accurate it is: did people really have that much sex in the office? Were there really three-martini lunches? Were women really second-class citizens? Jane Maas says the answer to all three questions is unequivocally yes....

An alternative history of the Mad Men era
Revisado: 08-05-12
Would you listen to Mad Women again? Why?
Probably not, one time is fine
What other book might you compare Mad Women to and why?
Jane Maas' earlier memoir and advertising primer, written in the 1980s, any good advertising memoir
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Genuine and engaging
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, but listened very consistently and consecutively
Any additional comments?
It hit home with my own experiences in advertising, and I think some of the Mad Men fans might well enjoy it, too.
