About this book

In this brief but lively biography, G.K. Chesterton brings all his typical wit and insight into discussing Francis of Assisi. Francis is arguably the most significant canonised Christian outside of the New Testament. His passionate life included so many elements of the Christian walk: a deep appreciation for evangelism, social justice, the environment, mysticism, and pacifism. Chesterton reveals all of these elements, for all their vibrancy and beauty, in Francis. - Summary by Matthew James Gray
