Almost eight centuries after his death in 1226, Francis of Assisi continues to fascinate and inspire people of all faiths and of none, throughout the globe. A Little Book of Francis of Assisi captures in simple format the very essence of Francis. The quotations gathered here, from Francis' own writings, sayings and prayers and from some of his contemporaries about him, provide a profound insight into the saint's thinking and personality, thus offering the reader food for thought and substance for prayerful reflection.
Reviews
'Small but prayerful compilations from the works of two favourite saints, which would make small religious gifts at Christmas.'
- The Irish Catholic' The material gathered gives great insight into the thinking and spirituality of Francis and Thérèse and provides much food for thought and prayer.'
- The St Anthony Brief'Ideal for the busy person who seems to be always short of time; the books could easily be read and reflected on during the rush hour on a bus, in a car or on a train. Short quotations offer authentic nourishment for the spirit. The Columba Press are to be congratulated on this initiative.'
- Spirituality 'Those unfamiliar with the words of these saints will find this format inspirational. Those unfamiliar with either saints or their words will be surprised by what these little volumes contain.'
- The Furrow 'These two little books give us the essence of the thinking of these saints and can be a great help to prayer.'
