The Wild Breath: A Franciscan Path to the Holy Spiri

By John Gilbert TSSF

tn The Wild Breath, John Gilbert, TSSF, invites you to stop holding your breath and recover an ancient, "green" spirituality. Drawing on the life of St. Francis of Assisi, Gilbert reveals the Holy Spirit not as a theological abstraction, but as the "Life-Giver" pulsing through the soil, the sea, and the centre of your own chest.

Through ten transformative chapters, you will explore:

Integral Ecology: Discovering how our spiritual health, mental well-being, and the health of the planet are a single, braided cord.

The Wisdom of Simplicity: Learning to empty the "cluttered soul" to make room for the Guest of the Soul.

Sacramental Gazing: Training your "bodily eyes" to see the Divine presence in everything from a houseplant to a stranger.

The Final Transitus: Finding the courage to welcome "Sister Death" as a final exhale back into the heart of God.

This book is more than a manual; it is a "trellis" for the modern soul, designed to support you as you grow toward a life that is simpler, more connected, and profoundly alive.
