In a world afflicted by violence, in a society marked by a growing gulf between rich and poor, in a church polarized around issues of power and authority, the example of St. Francis of Assisi remains fresh and relevant, a powerful model of the gospel in action. As award-winning author Michael Crosby points out, the memory of Francis does not simply challenge the violence and materialism of our culture. He embodies a positive, joy-filled example of humanity at its best. His mission to "repair the church" speaks directly to the crises facing the church today. His example of a nonviolent, justice-seeking, creation-centered spirituality speaks to the needs of our world and the deepest hungers of our hearts. Francis of Assisi is indeed a saint for all times.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    Saint Francis is arguably the world’s most popular saint, and in this book Michael Crosby goes beyond the popular image of the Poor Man of Assisi with his love of nature and suffering humanity and reveals the radical reformer. He compares Francis’s world of poverty, cynicism and violence with contemporary America and Francis’s struggle with the power structures of the church of his time with the crises facing the Church today. We find a new Francis, a real many-faceted man whose message for today’s world is as inspiring and relevant as it ever was. Crosby delves deeply into the history and culture of 13th century Italy and brings to vibrant life the contemporary struggle between spirituality and materialism. This is very much a book for today.
