Francis: The Poor Man of Assisi

Francis of Assisi, one of the most famous and beloved saints, comes to life for young people in this addition to The Life of a Saint series, with vivid four-color pictures on every page. 

 

Carefree and always ready for adventure, Francis had dreamed of becoming a knight ever since he was a little boy. But as he set off to war, an encounter with God changed him forever.
He chose instead a life of extreme poverty, becoming poor among the poor. Then, rich in the joys of heaven, Francis passed on to us all his love of others and of the beauty of God’s creation.
