St. Francis of Assisi Chesterton G. K.
The patron saint of animals, birds, and the environment, Francis of Assisi led the rediscovery of nature in the Christian West. Chesterton -- a convert to Catholicism -- chronicles the beloved saint's calling, his extraordinary life, and his influence in the Church. This magnificent spiritual biography by the phenomenally popular G. K.
He started out as a colorful troubadour with a fondness for French poetry, extravagant with money . . . Its charm and wit will appeal to even the most secular-minded readers.How fitting that Francesco Bernardone was born just after the Dark Ages when the world was awakening. until the sight of a beggar seeking alms opened his eyes to a world beyond himself.
The scene so moved him, he vowed to God that he would devote his life to the poor and embrace a life of simplicity. This sense of humility and generosity continues to call to each of us today. With
