Saint Francis of Assisi by G.K. Chesterton
cat's review
rating:
G.K Chesterton is my favorite newly discovered Christian writer. Like CS Lewis, he is aware of his failing humanity, and also so keenly in love with God and faith. I am not that far in, but this is shaping up to be a really great read...
[edited to add: this was actually a fantastic read. even when you know the bare bones of St. Francis' life, the love Chesterton has for him, and the exquisite writing, make it something more than just the biography of a saint. It becomes an exploration of faith in any age, and the pain that comes with truly living at odds with your culture.]
