<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Whether you are a professed Franciscan or someone just beginning to seek a spiritual understanding of Francis and Clare of Assisi, <i>Live Like Francis</i> will give you the tools you need to live the Gospel--the primary goal of all Franciscans. Through a process of prayer, reflection, study texts, questions and connections to Scripture, Live Like Francis will help you answer the Gospel's call: simplicity, peace, gratitude, service, and a life in balance with all of God's creatures.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Secular Franciscans should devote themselves especially to careful reading of the gospel, going from gospel to life and life to gospel. -From The Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order <p/> The goal of Franciscans has always been to put the Gospel into action. Whether you are a professed Franciscan of many years or someone just beginning to seek a spiritual understanding of Francis and Clare of Assisi, <i>Live Like Francis</i> will give you the tools you need to live the Gospel--a directive that remains as simple and, at times, confounding, today as it was eight hundred years ago during Francis's life. Through a process of prayer, reflection, study texts, questions and connections to Scripture, you will gain a deeper understanding of the Franciscan way and, through it, the Gospel. <p/><i>Live Like Francis</i> is, first and foremost, a prayer book. No deep understanding of Jesus, Francis and Clare can be reached without God's direction through prayer. Divided into fifty-two sections, this book encourages you to contemplate one aspect of the Franciscan way each week. You are invited to study the text and suggested additional readings; read selections from the Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order, which you'll find in various chapters; meditate on questions for reflection; and consider the application to daily life. Heartfelt prayers by Patti Normile from the previous edition (entitled <i>To Live as Francis Lived</i>) round out each section and offer a way to integrate the material into your daily prayer life. <p/> You can live joyfully and humbly in the secular modern world. Week by week, <i>Live Like Francis</i> will help you answer the Gospel's call to simplicity, peace, gratitude and service, and live a life in balance with all of God's creatures. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jovian Weigel, O.F.M., was active with the secular Franciscans at local, regional and national levels for more than thirty years. <p/> Leonard Foley, O.F.M., was a popular retreat master and speaker on Catholic identity and Franciscan topics.
