About this audiobook
Step into the medieval world to meet the Troubadour of God, a man who abandoned wealth to embrace a radical poverty that shook the foundations of the Church. This is not just a biography, but an affectionate portrait of a saint who saw the divine in the smallest of creatures. Through lyrical prose, the spirit of the Poverello comes alive, challenging the modern obsession with accumulation.
