This is an immersion into the life and teaching of the beloved saint. Using stories from his life, this book presents a spirituality of compassion, humility, and simplicity as timely in the 21st century as in Francis' own time.

Brings Excellent Focus to St Francis' Message,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peace of Heart: Based on the Life and Teachings of Francis of Assisi (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)
Structured into three sections for each day: a morning reflection; a short Thought to refer back to during the day; and a bedtime prayer. Excellently captures the gist of St. Francis' teachings. This book has become very popular in my men's group.

Not What I Expected,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Peace of Heart: Based on the Life and Teachings of Francis of Assisi (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)
I expected this book to be in the gentle, nourishing and joyful spirit of St. Francis. I found this book to have a very preachy tone about it. This book was too heavy and not filled with the lightness of spirit that one associates with the saint that loved all of God's creatures including all elements of the world. I was looking for the exact opposite of what this book had to offer. I do not want to start my day with the thoughts offered in this publication. The kindness and acceptance of Francis is what I want. I will look for it elsewhere.
