Francesco: A Story of Saint Francis of Assisi
A Story of Saint Francis of AssisiBy Madeleine Pecora Nugent
Length15h 29m
About this audiobook
He underwent a radical conversion. Began a religious movement that swept the whole world. Brought new life to the Church. Lived in deepest intimacy with Christ.
The story of Saint Francis of Assisi has been told many times. But never like this.
Madeline Nugent, CFP, masterfully weaves together years of research into a compelling biography that reads like a novel. She grounds her work in primary and modern sources, time spent in Assisi, and interviews with Franciscan experts to paint a vivid picture of the world of Saint Francis through the eyes of those who knew him best — and through the words of Francis himself.
