Christmas Day 2021 sees the release of a Netflix series, Stories of a Generation with Pope Francis, based on this book. Pope Francis views elders as reservoirs of wisdom and historical memory and believes their insights will offer future generations much-needed understanding and direction. More than 250 people were interviewed and Loyola Press sent a collection of stories to the Vatican. These encompassed universal themes of love, loss, survival, hope, peace in the face of unimaginable tragedy, and above all, faith. Pope Francis received every story, prayed over them, and responded with sensitivity and grace to 31 of the stories and the issues they raise. In his Preface, Pope Francis lays out his reasons for this collection of wisdom stories and the movement he hopes it inspires. He also contributes as a fellow elder, offering a story from his own life at the start of each chapter . And in his own wise and compassionate way, he serves as a spiritual shepherd, commenting on dozens of heartfelt stories.

Eugene Peterson believes that friendships are a vital - and increasingly rare - way in which God answers our need for guidance, encouragement, affirmation, and correction. In The Wisdom of Each Other, he demonstrates how the concerns of life can be met with the insights that come through transparent, Christ-centered relationships. Through a series of letters written to an old friend, Peterson brings to life friendship as a means to Christian maturity. The topics covered in these eloquent, personal messages are as varied as the broad spectrum of life. One thing, however, comes through with constancy and clarity: the value of a wise, experienced friend to help us see more clearly and to strengthen our growth in faith and godliness.
