1. St. Francis Of Assisi
A vivid, paradoxical portrait of the 13th-century Italian friar who renounced wealth to embrace radical poverty, joy, and a fierce love of creation; the study treats his life as a corrective to modern complacency, tracing how his humor, humility, and evangelizing zeal led him to found a brotherhood for the poor, to live a mystic intimacy with Christ and nature, and to become a disruptive yet tender moral force whose simplicity conceals profound theological and social insight.
