Reluctant Saint: The Life of Francis of Assisi
by Donald Spoto
by Donald Spoto
** spoiler alert **
Saint Francis of Assisi, it turns out, spent his early years drinking, fighting and spending his parent's money. And then he found religion. Spoiler alert: But, he ends up getting practically kicked out of the Franciscan order by a bunch of monkish bureaucrats. Monastic politics makes university politics seem as tame as national politics.
