Descriere A Study Guide for G.K. Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi - Rose Decaen

In G.K. Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi, we discover a man of paradox, bearing great resemblance to his biographer. We see a man in love with God and all creation, singing in the woods, calming the wild wolf, preaching to the birds and squirrels. Yet we see this same man beating his body, rolling in the snow to freeze burning desires, praying and fasting until illness, and then receiving the puzzling gift of the stigmata. How can we make sense of Francis? By reading Chesterton's biography. Chesterton understood the man of Assisi as few other biographers did. This study guide to Chesterton's biography of St. Francis has helped many learn more about St. Francis: from a Catholic school, to a parish book club, to local Chesterton clubs, to homeschoolers, to individuals studying on their own. All share an interest in digging deeper into the words of G.K. Chesterton, and finding out more about this amazing saint whom Chesterton understood so insightfully. To use this study guide, you will need a copy of Chesterton's biography of St. Francis. Electronic versions are available for as little as 99 cents.
