The Lessons of Saint Francis: How to Bring… by John Michael Talbot

This is an important book that I stumbled upon at an important season of my life. The topical organization of the book chapters on simplicity, joy, solitude, humility, creativity, chastity, community, compassion, creation, service, peace, and prayer has me thinking in different ways. I am looking forward to where this leads. (less)
