A short anthology, but one with a wide enough sampling of his
writings to showcase his own deep spiritual faith, The Writings of
St. Francis of Assisi reflects both the spiritual mystic and the
grounded human. A prelation of thought and lyrical expression
combine to present readers with a poetical combination of natural
and supernatural facets. An appropriate read for both laymen and
scholars, The Writings of St. Francis of Assisi offers readers
authentic spiritual renewal.
With a new Preface by the noted writer Madeleine L'Engle, author of nearly fifty books of fiction and non-fiction, including A Wrinkle in Time. St. Francis of Assisi's ecstatic embrace of a life of poverty revolutionized Christianity even as it transformed the ethics of the West. In this luminous and lively book, St. Francis's followers preserved his legend and those of his first disciples, combining stories of miracles with convincing portraits of men who were no less human for having been touched by God.
"God is our home but many of us have strayed from our native land. The venerable authors of these Spiritual Classics are expert guides--may we follow their directions home." --Archbishop Desmond Tutu
