In G.K. Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi, we discover a man of
paradox, bearing great resemblance to his biographer. We see a man
in love with God and all creation, singing in the woods, calming
the wild wolf, preaching to the birds and squirrels. Yet we see
this same man beating his body, rolling in the snow to freeze
burning desires, praying and fasting until illness, and then
receiving the puzzling gift of the stigmata. How can we make sense
of Francis? By reading Chesterton's biography. Chesterton
understood the man of Assisi as few other biographers did. This
study guide to Chesterton's biography of St. Francis has helped
many learn more about St. Francis: from a Catholic school, to a
parish book club, to local Chesterton clubs, to homeschoolers, to
individuals studying on their own. All share an interest in digging
deeper into the words of G.K. Chesterton, and finding out more
about this amazing saint whom Chesterton understood so
insightfully. To use this study guide, you will need a copy of
Chesterton's biography of St. Francis. Electronic versions are
available for as little as 99 cents.
The Children's Crusade is a play in four scenes, with a cast of 21
