| Description: |
Francis of Assisi comes to life for young people with vivid, colour pictures on every page. The book shows Francis becoming a brother and friend to all, to lepers, the poor, and animals too.
The story begins with the saint's birth and joyful youth. After military service, imprisonment, and illness, Francis has a dramatic encounter with God. He then gives up everything, even the clothes on his back, in order to follow Jesus in poverty and humility.
Among the episodes in the life of Francis are the taming of the wolf of Gubbio and the first living Nativity scene. Also included is the conversion of Saint Clare, who was inspired by Francis to leave her life of luxury in order to give herself completely to the love of God.
