About this book
“He was a lover of God and he was really and truly a lover of men.” — G. K. Chesterton
How do you write the life of a saint for readers who admire him but do not share his faith? G. K. Chesterton’s answer was to begin with the Francis they already loved, the poet, the friend of birds and beasts, the champion of the poor, and to show that none of it makes sense without the love of God at its center.
First published in 1923, the year after Chesterton entered the Catholic Church, this short, dazzling book follows Francis from the young troubadour of Assisi to the stigmata and the Canticle of the Sun.
This edition presents the complete text with a new Note to This Edition.
