Publisher's Synopsis
This book, together with a similar one on Mother Teresa, will launch a new series of daily meditations `365' books. They will be published in hardback gift format with a smart series look. The 13th century Italian, Francis of Assisi, remains one of Christianity's most enduring and all-encompassing saints. He was the inspiration for the religious order and monastic Rule which carries his name. This book collects together the best extracts from his writings, thoughts and prayers in a very accessible daily meditations format. It also contains prayers by others who have followed the teaching of Francis. His words are a source of inspiration and encouragement for people of all backgrounds, taking in issues as diverse as praise of God, poverty, peace and violence, creation, community and hospitality. Originally published as Through the Year with Francis of Assisi (which sold 5400 units).
