Praying with Francis of Assisi is not a biography about St. Francis, but a way of praying with him. Those who use this book will learn that Francis’ spirituality fits naturally into Christian tradition and reflects his great love for the Jesus of the Gospels.

Each of the fifteen meditations invites readers into the story of Francis and his thoughts and feelings about important life-themes, and suggests ways in which to reflect on and pray about their own life in light of what hey have learned from this challenging, holy man.
