About this book
The Franciscans: Who are they? How did they start? How have they grown? What do they do? What do they believe? Where are they today?
In answering these questions Br. William Short, OFM, sketches a family portrait of the Franciscans: a family with its own memories, its own character and its own stories, from Francis and Clare to the friars, the Poor Sisters, the brothers and sisters of penance and Franciscans today.
Some of these stories are familiar to many; others, even some of the best, remain unknown, waiting for a new audience who may find in them a reason to give thanks, to be surprised or even to smile.
