The Gift of Saint Francis

The Gift of St. Francis is an inviting, appealing, informative introduction to St. Francis and his time. His prophetic message continues to have a universal appeal, and this book presents the legacy of St. Francis in stories, prayers, and 'pilgrimage' to the places made holy by Francis. The delicate drawings and skilled calligraphy of illustrator Lynne Muir emphasize the contemplative experience that is another of St. Francis' gifts.
