<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Previously published as: Francis of Assisi / edited by Mirabai Starr. Copyright 2007.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When a small village was plagued by a wild wolf, it is told that a humble friar named Francis came and met the predator with nothing but his gentle words--and turned the wolf from a menace to a welcome citizen. This graceful man, who spoke to each part of Creation as a sister or brother, has become one of the most beloved of all saints. <p/>In both joy and adversity, Saint Francis served as a bold example of how to live completely and authentically as a follower of Christ. From his survival as a prisoner of war to the series of awakenings that helped him to reform the Catholic Church, Francis drew his strength from his miraculous, loving union with the natural world. <p/><i>Saint Francis of Assisi</i> is an essential devotional reader for building your personal connection to the spirit of this modest Italian sage. Through stories, prayers, and his own writings, you are invited to share in Francis's nourishing devotion to God, and in his profound compassion toward all living things.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Humility is the recognition of the truth about God and ourselves." --Saint Francis of Assisi <p/>"If you have not yet been introduced to the magic and freedom of Saint Francis, you are about to be 'attracted' and maybe even seduced into a much larger world where sun, moon, animals, plants, and elements are all shown reverence as 'brother' and 'sister.'" --from the foreword by Fr. Richard Rohr</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Mirabai Starr</b><br><b>Mirabai Starr</b> teaches philosophy and world religions at the University of New Mexico, and is the author of new translations of <i>Dark Night of the Soul</i> by John of the Cross and <i>The Interior Castle</i> and <i>The Book of My Life</i> by Teresa of Avila.
