The captivating story of the world's favorite saint is now retold
for a modern audience by one of the great novelists of our time.
Perhaps more than any other figure in Christian history since Jesus
Christ, Saint Francis of Assisi has captured our imagination, for
his is a story of extreme self-sacrifice, of love to God and man.
How could this wealthy, handsome youth cast away all the advantages
that were his by birth and choose instead a career of poverty and
humility? How could he attract members of all strata of society to
his mission? And how, when his order became established throughout
Europe, could he renounce great personal power and humbly continue
his life's work? Here is Francis, from his twelfth-century boyhood
to his life as a missionary roaming the very boundaries of the
known world. Here too are the men and women who followed
him--Bernard de Quintavalle, the rich businessman; Peter Cathanii,
the lawyer; Brother Giles, the farmer's son; Lady Clare; and so
many others--all drawn together by the personal magnetism and
humble faith of their leader, all re-created by bestselling
novelist Elizabeth Goudge against a rich medieval canvas.
