Who was Saint Francis of Assisi really? A dreamer in love with nature, a reformer, an ascetic, a poet of evangelical poverty, or one of the bravest followers of Christ?
With his penetrating intelligence, unmistakable humor, and talent for overturning conventional perspectives, G.K. Chesterton brings to life the figure of the saint from Assisi. Francis emerges as a young man fascinated by the songs of the troubadours, who became “God’s juggler” himself—a lover who renounced wealth, prestige, and security to pursue the joy of the Gospel to the very end. Chesterton looks beyond the sentimental image of the protector of animals and reveals the profound unity between his joy, austerity, humility, and freedom.
Love for all creatures springs from love for the Creator; poverty becomes a form of liberation; and sacrifice takes on the intensity of a love story. By placing Francis in the turbulent world of the Middle Ages, the author shows how a single man was able to change the sensibility of an era and reopen the eyes of Christendom to the beauty of creation.
In this spiritual portrait, Saint Francis becomes the “mirror of Christ”—intimate and human—in which the reader can glimpse the stirring, paradoxical, and luminous power of the Gospel. A book for believers, for skeptics, and for all those who want to understand why, after eight centuries, the “Little Poor Man of Assisi” continues to fascinate the world.
