Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Drawn from his writings, interviews, and homilies, I Believe provides an intimate window on the Pope's personal faith, and an incomparable introduction to the gospel. Organised around the principle themes of the Apostle's Creed, these short readings make it clear that the Creed is more than a list of dogmatic propositions; it is an invitation to encounter the living God in the deepest place in our hearts. And that encounter inspires us to action: to give witness, to practice greater charity, to live in the truth. The Pope's words are also a challenge -- to meet the God of surprises, who makes all things new, who accompanies us on our journey. For anyone seeking a more authentic life, this is a book to carry and treasure.
Translated from the German.

The Apostles' Creed -- I believe -- I believe in God. The Father ; The Almighty ; The creator of heaven and earth -- And in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit ; Born of the Virgin Mary ; Suffered under Pontius Pilate ; Was crucified, died, and was buried ; He descended into hell ; On the third day He rose again from the dead ; He ascended into heaven ; And is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty ; From there He will come to judge to living and the dead -- I believe in the Holy Spirit. The holy Catholic Church ; The communion of saints ; The forgiveness of sins ; The resurrection of the body, and life everlasting -- Selections from "Lumen fidei."
