Ksiazka jest spisanym z duza rzetelnoscia i wnikliwoscia - o czym swiadczy ilosc cytatów z wypowiedzi papieza Franciszka i o nim, krótka, lecz poglebiona analiza koscielnego trendu nowej ewangelizacji, historii doswiadczen jezuitów oraz ilosc przywolanych swiadectw o postaci i duchowosci Jorge Bergoglio - studium wizji, dzialan i wypowiedzi papieza w pierwszym roku jego pontyfikatu. Studium to dokonane jest ze szczególnej perspektywy - z perspektywy managera i znanego teoretyka teorii decyzji i przywództwa, który dostrzega naglaca we wspólczesnym swiecie potrzebe nowego stylu przywództwa, niezbednego we wszystkich dziedzinach zycia, od rodzine po przywództwo swiatowe. Uniwersalny model i wzór takiego przywództwa dostrzega Lowney wlasnie w postaci papieza Franciszka, i, nie przesadzajac o jego sukcesie i nie popadajac w nieuzasadniony optymizm, zaprasza czytelników do spojrzenia przez pryzmat tego wzoru na swoje wlasne doswiadczenie przywództwa. Dodatkowym walorem ksiazki jest szczególne - wynikajace z wlasnej biografii - zainteresowanie autora wplywem formacji jezuickiej i duchowosci ignacjanskiej na styl papieza Franciszka, dzieki czemu ksiazke mozna traktowac takze jako wprowadzenie w duchowosc i styl dzialania zapoczatkowany przez swietego Ignacego Loyole i realizowany w praktyce Towarzystwa Jezusowego.
