"On the cover of the book, "St. Francis of Assisi" (seen at far right) is a portrait of Francis by Cimabue (painted ca. 1295 A.D.). It is located in the lower church of the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. Monk Linda and I felt honored to be able to view the original painting in person when we paid our respects at St. Francis' crypt; and also to see the last tunic (robe, or habit) that Francis wore before he died." -Monk Preston _______________ Saint Francis of Assisi by Omer Englebert Second English Edition revised and augmented by Ignatius Brady, O.F.M., and Raphael Brown Translation from the original French by Eve Marie Cooper © 1965 by Franciscan Herald Press Published by Servant Books, Ann Arbor, Michigan _______________

St. Francis of Assisi: A Biography by Omer Englebert Reviewers have judged St. Francis of Assisi: A Biography to be that rarity among books about Saints: a popular work of inspiring spiritual reading which is also an acclaimed work of modern scholarship. With spiritual insight and careful historical judgment, Omer Englebert blends the many facets of St. Francis' personality into a portrait of a saint who can inspire men and women today. __________________ "If one were to read only one book on this saint, I would recommend this one." -Judith Tydings; author of A Gathering of People "An ideal biography and a book of refreshing spiritual reading....A definitive biography of St. Francis which can hardly be surpassed. -Paul Dent, S.J.; Review for Religious "No library should be without this book." -Church History "This is a book to make one's heart leap." -Ray C. Petry; Duke Divinity School Review ______________________________ Tell others about Jesus like St. Francis did: Though not all Christians are called to full-time Christian Ministry, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians. Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). _____________________________ |
