The Best St. Francis,
This review is from: Gods Pauper (Paperback)
Reading Kazantzakis' St. Francis is a consistently joyful, frequently ecstatic experience. A fictionalized account of the life of St. Francis, this novel allows the reader to know the saint almost personally. Told through the eyes of his loyal companion, the story not only chronicals the historic events in the life of St. Francis, but also captures the tumultuous essence of a life lived in longing for ever more service to God. This is one of the best books about St. Francis in existence.

This review is from: Gods Pauper (Paperback)
This is a book about St. Francis of Assisi. The author admits right up front that this book is a reflection on the life of St. Francis which mixes facts about his life and some "creative" fill in material that is the thought of the author. It's like the apocraphal works of the gospels - the authors take the statements in the gospels and then "fill in the blanks" to kind of like complete the stories of Jesus' "hidden" years.The book is interesting and captivating. It does inspire the author and reader to have an appreciation and greater respect for St. Francis if you didn't have that already. |
