OverviewSt. Francis of Assisi by G. K. Chesterton - 8x10 LARGE PRINT - Easy Reading -Easy on Your Eyes G.K. Chesterton puts forth a masterful piece of literary work describing the life of St. Francis of Assisi. He first puts St. Francis and his life into historical perspective. Why was his ascetism necessary? Why was the world then ready for someone who could love nature the way he did? Chesterton answers these questions. Next, he describes what drove St. Francis to his life and then his life. At this point, he has said nothing of those things that would be considered supernatural or miraculous, only what he did that is incontrovertible. He then puts perspective into why St. Francis would throw himself into the fire of the Mohammedans. And, the import of the events and words of his death. He next addresses the controversy that arose after his death, between the differing factions among the Franciscans and the role the papacy played in that. Finally, he touches on the miracles, why they were left out of this biography, and why they shouldn't have needed to be. Chesterton is wonderful, as always. An amazing and insightful spiritual biography that's light on factual details, heavy on context and depth and chock full of Chestertonian wit and wordplay. Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy!
