Franciscan Spirituality: Following St Francis Today (2nd Edition)

Description:

What is special about the spirituality of St Francis? Can it be possible for ordinary men and women today, with families, jobs and other responsibilities, to follow in the way of a thirteenth-century friar? Brother Ramon, an Anglican Franciscan friar, shows us that Franciscan spirituality is as compelling and relevant today as ever. It is marked by spontaneity and emotional freedom, by openness to every human being and love for nature. It treasures both the evangelical and the catholic nature of the gospel. It is rooted in a biblical faith and in reverence for the whole of creation. Franciscan Spirituality introduces us to the world of Francis and his first followers and shows how their excitement and wonder at Jesus alive in their midst can still be recaptured. The book is illustrated throughout by Molly Dowell.

Written especially at the request of the 3rd Order of Franciscans, it is packed with wisdom and information, and refuses to be just another introduction to Francis. It has references to Brother Ramon's personal life of faith, and draws on that of others too.An excellent book, and one that is worth re-reading many times.

Arrived in good time and a wonderful read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a text book

C.C. · 2 September 2010

This book was written with the third order in mind, so for a person interested in becoming a Franciscan it is a good book to read. The first part of the book is a bit heavy with lots of references but some of the later chapters are really good and inspiring. I would recommend it.

S.A.B. · 30 June 2013

I chose this book to discover in greater depth the life, philosophy and faith of St Francis. We, who are interested in the Third Order of St Francis are read this again and again, as we try to develop our lives with the guidance of St Francis toward a greater knowledge of Jesus Christ.This is of interest to the general reader who wishes to learn about the mediaeval saint, and highly recommended. The used paperback is a good buy.

It's not for everyone, but those seeking a modern understanding of St. Francis, his brave willingness to go to any length to identify with, experience the pain of his master, Jesus. A necessary addition to the library of anyone who has the desire to have the faith of Jesus. A must read for anyone considering exploring any of the orders of the Friars Minor.
