About this book
Winner of the Catholic Press Association’s Best Spirituality Award.
The Sun and Moon Over Assisi shows how the lives of the two medieval saints of Assisi, Francis and Clare, transformed the life of a thoroughly modern cynic from Los Angeles. The great events of their lives unfold in vivid, engaging stories.
Alongside them runs the story of the author’s own conversion, from Hollywood television producer to filmmaker for the poor. In pilgrimage diaries and reflections he takes the reader through the hill towns of Umbria and the churches of Assisi and the art of Giotto: an interior pilgrimage that speaks to the present-day, secular reader.
