What is The Complete Francis of Assisi: His Life, The Complete Writings, and The Little Flowers (Paraclete Giants) about?

In many ways, Francis of Assisi is easy to understand. The late medievalmilieu notwithstanding, Francis’s slow, awkward conversion, wrought withfamilial conflict of Shakespearean proportions, and his subsequent passionfor living life with true Gospel simplicity, appeals to people of every era.We don’t need much interpretation or explanation in order to quickly graspthe man and the messageFrancis of Assisi wrote an innovative Rule for life, letters to friends, andother fascinating occasional writings including the “Canticle of theCreatures,” the first poem penned in vernacular Italian and a daring, aheadof-his-time interpretation of the world of creatures as part of God’skingdom. As for The Little Flowers of Saint Francis, it has had no shortageof readers over the centuries. This beautiful book has probably beenintroduced to more people in history than any other except for the Bible andThe Imitation of Christ, and the edition here, unlike many others, organizesthe stories in chronological order. With all of this, if you don’t fall in lovewith the life of the little poor man from Assisi by the time you are done,perhaps you should have your heart checked! 1 Samuel 16:7, Matthew 6:21,P
