About this audiobook
The son of a merchant strips himself of all worldly possessions to court Lady Poverty in a display of radical love. This portrait moves beyond the stained-glass image to reveal a man of fiery passion and boundless empathy for all living things. It is a compelling look at how one individual's humility can overturn the values of an entire age.
