St. Francis

[Nick]

Can anybody recommend a good book on the life of St. Francis of Assisi? Thank you.

A good first book would be “The Journey and the Dream” by Murray Bondo. Available for about $5.00 on Amazon.com. This book has been used in the Secular Franciscan Order to introduce folks to Francis and Franciscan spirituality.

God bless

The best book for capturing the essence of St. Francis is G. K. Chesterton’s book about the great saint.

Two I enjoyed are “Tales of Saint Francis” by Murray Bodo, and “Thomas of Celano’s First Life of Saint Francis of Assisi”
