The Life and Prayers of Saint Francis of Assisi

by Wyatt North

One part biography, one part prayer book, The Life and Prayers of Saint Francis of Assisi is an essential book for any Christian. Saint Francis of Assisi is quite possibly the most popular of all Christian saints. Perhaps it is his adoration for all living things or his unrelenting generosity that has made so many people open their hearts to him. Perhaps it is the deep conviction and piety expressed not only by the saint himself, but in his name, in the Franciscan orders throughout the centuries. Whatever the reason, in a world that is quickly developing in a direction diametrically opposite to the saint's own simple asceticism, Saint Francis of Assisi still stirs strong emotions and compassion. How close he found God, in the very nature around him, is inspiring.

[Ida Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not knowing any thing of Saint Francis of Assisi I thought it was a good intro. I'd hoped it would have more of his prayers, but maybe there aren't that many of his prayers that are recorded.
