"Joan Mueller presents profound values of Francis in simple yet eloquent prose. This work will serve as a fine introduction to the life and designs of St. Francis. . . . In the hands of a seasoned teacher, this work can also serve as an introduction to the theological foundation of Franciscan life--a peaceful life lived sine proprio for the sake of God's little ones." --Anthony M. Carrozzo, O.F.M.

A modern retelling of the life of St. Francis combining historical detail and narrative style. The author explores the daily lives of Francis and Clare and the life of thirteen-century Assisi and beautifully translates their stories. Francis reads like both a love story and a biographical account of the life of the most universally acclaimed saint. Who is the real Francis of Assisi? This book answers the question in a dramatic and engaging style. The book is also a companion to the musical drama now on stage at the brand new Lyrick Theater in Assisi, Italy.

Joan Mueller, Ph.D., is an associate professor of theology and Christian spirituality at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska and a Franciscan scholar.
