How could this wealthy, handsome youth cast away all the advantages that were his by birth and choose instead a career of poverty and humility? How could he attract members of all strata of society to his mission? And how, when his order became established throughout Europe, could he renounce great personal power and humbly continue his life’s work?Here is Francis, from his twelfth-century boyhood to his life as a missionary roaming the very boundaries of the known world. Here too are the men and women who followed him—Bernard de Quintavalle, the rich businessman; Peter Cathanii, the lawyer; Brother Giles, the farmer’s son; Lady Clare; and so many others—all drawn together by the personal magnetism and humble faith of their leader, all re-created by bestselling novelist Elizabeth Goudge against a rich medieval canvas.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 363gAuthor: Elizabeth GoudgeGenre: BiographyTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
