Inspiration for the Netflix series Stories of a Generation with Pope Francis "To walk toward the future, the past is needed" —Pope Francis One day, while at prayer, Pope Francis was inspired to shine a light on the vital role of grandparents and other elders and the life—changing wisdom they have to share. Sharing the Wisdom of Time is the culmination of the Holy Father's vision. Elders from over 30 countries share their wisdom carved from lifetimes of experience. From a blind basket—weaver in Kenya to a centenarian midwife in Guatemala who has delivered 10,000 babies, every story is a testament to the power of faith, perseverance, human resilience, and love. Pope Francis contributes as a fellow elder, offering the Preface and his own story in each chapter, while also reflecting on dozens of others' stories. 2020 International Book Awards, Finalist: Photography 2019 Illumination Book Awards, Gold: Keepsake/Specialty Bible 2019 Independent Press Awards, Winner: Coffee Table Book 2019 Association of Catholic Publishers’ “Excellence in Publishing Book Awards,” First Place: Inspirational 2019 International Book Awards, Finalist: Christianity 2019 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, First Place: Design & Production 2019 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, First Place: Family Life 2019 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, First Place: Coffee Table Book/Religious Art 2019 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, First Place: Pope Francis 2019 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, Third Place: Spirituality 2019 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, Honorable Mention: Best Front Cover Art 2019 Living Now Book Awards, Evergreen Book Medal: Spiritual Leadership 2019 Best Book Awards, Winner: Novelty & Gift Book 2019 Best Book Awards, Winner: Photography
