"The interview sections are fascinating, and scenes of the pope's travels, during which he frequently washes the feet of those who come to him, are moving."--New York Times"A Man of His Word' honors and celebrates the shock of a man of God who would rather make this life better than hand out empty promises about the next."--Boston Globe"It is a pleasure to watch the present-day Francis interact with people all over the world and articulate his hopes for improving the lot of the poor."--Hollywood Reporter
