Francesco: A Story of Saint Francis of Assisi

He underwent a radical conversion. Began a religious movement that swept the whole world. Brought new life to the Church. Lived in deepest intimacy with Christ. The story of Saint Francis of Assisi has been told many times. But never like this. In this compelling biography, Madeline Nugent skillfully weaves together years of research into authentic narrative that reads like a novel. She bases her work on primary sources, scholarly reading, time spent in Assisi, and interviews with Franciscan experts to vividly recreate the world of Saint Francis through the eyes of those who knew him best―and through the words of Francis himself.
