About this book

“My brothers, my brothers, I wish I had a forest of such junipers.” — St. Francis of Assisi

Brother Juniper was one of the early companions of St. Francis. He joined Francis and the brothers in 1210, died in Rome on January 4, 1258, and is buried in the Franciscan church of Ara Coeli on the Capitoline Hill.

His madcap antics, his patience and his fervent desire to imitate Christ have endeared him to all who see the world through children’s eyes and do foolish things because they are in love with God. Based on a 14th-century story, Murray Bodo’s tale is told by Juniper himself as he remembers and mourns his friend and soul-mate, Brother Tendalbene.

Bodo offers Juniper as “an antidote for us moderns”: proof that God chooses those the world considers absurd to shame the wise.
