Book Overview

* Advance Praise & Reviews for Surrounded by Love *

"A beautiful meditation on the spiritual wisdom of the Poverello and its practical value for today. In this elegantly written book, Murray Bodo brings Francis of Assisi's life experiences and teachings into dialogue with our contemporary world, showing our need for the breathtaking beauty of the Franciscan spiritual and theological visions." --Mary Beth Ingham, CSJ, Franciscan School of Theology

Fr. Murray Bodo, OFM, brings to life seven teachings of St. Francis of Assisi in his familiar, lyrical style. These seven teachings are both a way and a destination, the way being transformation and the destination being the love of God. This simple map for living is why St. Francis is still admired today in our divided world. When you lie these teachings, the natural result is joy and union with God, who lives with us and within all creation.
