Finding Francis, Following Christby Michael H CrosbyGoodBookStall Review:
Saint Francis is arguably the world’s most popular saint, and in this book Michael Crosby goes beyond the popular image of the Poor Man of Assisi with his love of nature and suffering humanity and reveals the radical reformer. He compares Francis’s world of poverty, cynicism and violence with contemporary America and Francis’s struggle with the power structures of the church of his time with the crises facing the Church today. We find a new Francis, a real many-faceted man whose message for today’s world is as inspiring and relevant as it ever was. Crosby delves deeply into the history and culture of 13th century Italy and brings to vibrant life the contemporary struggle between spirituality and materialism. This is very much a book for today.Reviewer: John Irvine (02/07/08) Paperback Price: £10.99 Publisher:Orbis Books distributed by Alban Books Published:April 2008 ISBN:978-1-570-75729-7
