The Complete Francis of Assisi is a beautifully curated, all-in-one collection that offers one of the most comprehensive and accessible introductions to Saint Francis available today. Combining biography, primary writings, and classic stories, this volume invites readers to encounter the heart, humility, and spiritual depth of the man who changed the course of Christian history.
This edition from Paraclete Press would seem to be the best and most authoritative for the general reader... --The Irish Catholic
Unlike other editions, this unique collection brings together three essential works in one--offering both the story of Francis's life and his own words of faith and devotion:
Included in this volume:
- The Little Flowers - A beloved collection of inspiring and often miraculous stories about Francis and his early companions that helped shape his enduring legacy
- Francis of Assisi in His Own Words: The Essential Writings - A powerful compilation of his letters, prayers, and monastic rules, revealing the spiritual foundation of the early Franciscan movement
- The Road to Assisi by Paul Sabatier - A groundbreaking and influential biography that brings Francis's journey vividly to life
Through these pages, you'll encounter the man who renounced wealth, embraced poverty, served the outcast, and found God in all of creation--from the poorest of the poor to the birds of the air.
Why readers love this edition:
- A complete and authoritative introduction to Saint Francis in a single volume
- Combines biography, original writings, and classic stories
- Ideal for spiritual growth, Christian study, and personal reflection
- A timeless resource for those interested in Catholic spirituality, saints, and church history
A loving, inspiring portrait... readers are left feeling they have spent meaningful time with the man who continues to inspire us. -- Booklist
Whether you are discovering Saint Francis for the first time or returning to his teachings, this collection offers a rich and rewarding journey into a life marked by radical faith, humility, and joy.
Step into the world of Francis of Assisi--and be inspired to live with greater simplicity, compassion, and devotion.
