This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was he just a thirteenth-century hippy who preached to birds and loved animals and the great outdoors? Or was there more to this man? Why has St. Francis of Assisi captured the imagination of so many, even well-beyond the boundaries of the Catholic Church, capturing the imagination not only of other Christians but even of non-believers? Fr. John Anglin, OFM, a Catholic priest for forty-four years and a Franciscan friar for fifty years shows how this holy man from the thirteenth-century chose a life of living the gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that everyone could follow. In Following Jesus in the Footsteps of Francis, Fr. John explains the spiritual vision of St. Francis and those who came after him. He sets forth the theological and spiritual vision of this great saint and explains how this vision shapes the lives of those who would follow Jesus in this way, whether they are members of the Franciscan order or ordinary folks who simply want to live out the vision of this holy man. Above all, he shows how this eight-century-old vision still inspires people today.

Book excerpt: What happens when the pastor of a mega church loses his faith? Discover one man’s life-changing journey to resolve his crisis of faith in Italy by retracing the footsteps of Francis of Assisi, a saint whose simple way of loving Jesus changed the history of the world. Pastor Chase Falson lost his faith in God, the Bible, evangelical Christianity, and his super-sized megachurch. When he fell apart, the church elders told him to go away—as far away as possible. Broken, Chase crossed the Atlantic to Italy to visit his uncle, a Franciscan priest. There, he was introduced to the revolutionary teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi and found an old, but new way of following Jesus that heals and inspires. Chase Falson's spiritual discontent mirrors the feelings of a growing number of Christians who walk out of church asking, Is this all there is? This book is perfect for believers who are: Weary of celebrity pastors and empty calorie teaching Disappointed by worship services where the emphasis is more on Lights, Camera, Action than on Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Tired of the deepest questions of life remaining unaddressed and unanswered Remain hopeful and seek to strengthen their faith Hidden in the past lies the future of the church. Explore the life of a saint who 800 years ago breathed new life into disillusioned Christians and a Church on the brink of collapse. Chasing Francis is a hopeful and moving story with profound implications for those who yearn for a more vital relationship with God and the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a little town in Italy, nearly eight hundred years ago, Francis of Assisi renounced everything he owned to follow Christ with passionate and single-minded abandon. Even today, centuries later, this simple saint draws people around the world to his story of living in humility, love, and joy. Here in Following Francis, Susan Pitchford tells her own story of the Franciscan life, as a member of the Third Order, founded by Francis himself so that people from all walks of life can follow the saint's ideal, without leaving their homes or occupations. Pitchford learned that the Franciscan tradition isn't the exclusive possession of monks cloistered in a monastery, but a spiritual path for ordinary people living in the twenty-first century. Organized around the Rule of St. Francis, this book - a wonderful resource for private devotion or group study - shows readers what it means to live out the Christian life with a Franciscan accent.

This nuanced portrait reveals the multifaceted character of a man who can genuinely be said to have changed the course of history.
Book Synopsis St. Francis and the Christian Life by : April Love-Fordham
Download or read book St. Francis and the Christian Life written by April Love-Fordham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we live the Christian life? April Love-Fordham and her husband contemplated this as they retraced the footsteps of Saint Francis across the Italian wilderness. Did they need to renounce materialism and live more simply? Did they need to do more work serving those in need? Was more Bible study or a stronger prayer life needed? What made their commitment to Christ different than those committed to other faiths? How could their lives make a difference? Love-Fordham was planning a lecture series on Galatians, written by the Apostle Paul, when she and her husband began their pilgrimage. As they journeyed into the life and legends of Saint Francis, a playful old-school Franciscan monk befriended them. Together, the three named the parallels and divergences in the lives of Saint Francis and Paul. In doing so, they discovered an entirely new—but ancient—way of following Jesus. This book teaches Galatians the way Jesus taught: through parables. In this case, the parables are about Saint Francis. Each section ends with a spiritual practice designed to help readers discover their own unique way of living the Christian life.

Book Synopsis When Saint Francis Saved the Church by : Jon M. Sweeney
Download or read book When Saint Francis Saved the Church written by Jon M. Sweeney and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Saint Francis Saved the Church offers a surprising new look at the world’s most popular saint, showing how this beloved, but often-mythologized character created a spiritual vision for the ages and may very well have rescued the Christian faith. In When Saint Francis Saved the Church (paperback), popular historian Jon Sweeney presents an intriguing portrait of Francis beyond the readily familiar stories and images. In the tradition of Thomas Cahill’s How the Irish Saved Civilization, Sweeney reveals how the saint became a hinge in the history of the Christian faith and shows how in just fourteen years—from 1205 to 1219—the unconventional and stumbling wisdom of a converted troubadour changed the Church. Sweeney outlines Francis’s revolutionary approach to friendship, “the other” (people at the margins), poverty, spirituality, care (for people, creatures, and the natural world), and death. This vibrant book presents the unsullied life and message of Francis in its essential details, offering a sweeping, informative, remarkable look at how Francis and his movement quite literally saved the Christian faith—and continues to offer a spiritual vision with contemporary relevance.
