An incredible spiritual journey with Francis

Are you interested in Francis and his spirituality? Do you want to learn more about him? This book is a superb way to explore the spiritual life either individually or with a group. I've used it again and again. In fact I've worn out my first copy and had to get another! Organized into 15 topics by chapter the book includes prayers, editorial introductions, the words of Francis, opportunity for reflection and action, and relevent scriptures for each topic. Topics covered are: The Central Place of the Gospels, Holy Poverty, The Good Sense of Foolishness, Blessed Peace, Coutesy, Right Action, Simplicity, Serving Our Neighbors, Littleness, Glorious Nature, Humility, The Church, Struggle, Worship, and Joy. I am a minister. I have used the book personally and in groups. When used with 7th grade boys and with adults all were moved toward Christian maturity following in the footsteps of Francis their guide.
