The Franciscan Tradition -Spirituality in History

Saint Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved saints. His commitment to God’s will, his yearning to embrace poverty, and his attentiveness to the spirit’s presence in his life continue to inspire Christian and non-Christians alike. The Franciscan Tradition highlights some of the most influential people in Franciscan history. Using the writing of men and women from the First, Second, and Third Orders, this volume shows the breadth and depth of the Franciscan way of life.
