A poetical homage to a very human saint Paul Sabatier's Life of St. Francis of Assisi is considered the first 'modern' biography of this great universally beloved saint. It is richly poetical, mystical, and reverential without being sentimental or effusive. A beautiful simple meditation full of insight into Francis' conman humanity, it does not transform him into a remote icon of devotion. The author's "Protestant" outlook when it was first written (1890's), now seems only mildly liberal by post Vatican II 21st century standards. Yes, the work was originally placed on the Index of Forbidden Books for Catholics. "St. Francis: A Model of Christianity to be Followed, if Only In One's Heart." according to Mik Sutton. I enjoyed this book. At times it got a bit too specific and detailed, but over all it has been somethingthat stimulated thought and action. Thoughts about the necessities of life and the pressures of the worldto conform. From there, decisions as to what can be done to simplify life and make it more focused onliving for Jesus so much more than living in the world. And then the question, "Could someone live thisway again, so surrendered to God and dependent upon His grace?" I wish I could say it could be me. good book ! Fast shipping and a very nice product.
