In this booklet, author Michael Wright identifies 10 key themes from the popular encyclical, explaining what they mean for everyday Catholics.</p><p>A follow-up to the successful <em>10 Things Pope Francis Wants You to Know</em>, this booklet provides clear explanations for readers who want to follow Pope Francis' teachings.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In my ten years committed to sharing Catholic teaching on the environment, 2015 will forever be a watershed moment with the release of Pope Francis' On Care for Our Common Home <em>(Laudato Si').</em> The profound and detailed encyclical is superbly summarized by Michael Wright. Michael's book, <em>10 Things Pope Francis Wants You to Know About the Environment, </em> draws deeply from <em>Laudato Si', </em> outlining the major themes of the book, and making those themes accessible to all. The underlying spiritual calling that is at the heart of <em>Laudato Si'</em> is beautifully synthesized especially in chapters 2, 3, and 6. But each chapter is worthy of full attention. The book could easily serve as a study guide for small groups wanting to explore Pope Francis' teaching on the environment.</p>--Dan Misleh "Executive Director, Catholic Climate Covenant" (1/6/2016 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>These 10 Things books are excellent resources for adult education, introducing key themes of the Pope's teachings. Their pocket-size format makes them inviting--good for catechists and a great resource for any type of adult education in the parish, including small faith-study groups and interfaith efforts. Some readers will be motivated to go further, to read the original documents, like <em>Laudato Si'</em>, homilies, and discourses that each book explains.</p>--Dan Pierson "founder of eCatechist.com and faithAlivebooks.com and former diocesan director of religious education" (5/14/2016 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>This is an excellent resource for parishes eager to make Pope Francis' encyclical <em>Laudato Si'</em> more accessible to diverse groups of Catholics and empower them to take action. I'll certainly be using this resource at my parish.</p>--Father Jacek Orzechowski, OFM "a Franciscan friar leading the Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation ministry at St. Camillus, a Catholic multicultural parish in Silver Spring, MD" (12/17/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br>
