{"product_id":"francis-of-assisi-clare-di-favarone-9781500307073","title":"Francis of Assisi: A Novel Awakening to Lady Poverty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough many books have been written about Saint Francis of Assisi, none have put him in such a human light as this novel. \u003ci\u003eFrancis of Assisi\u003c\/i\u003e, while taking a few liberties along the way, tells the story of Saint Francis's journey through darkness and war and into the light. Readers learn about the struggles Saint Francis must overcome, and about his trials with his father and with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough certain fictitious accounts of the historical character, readers are granted the chance to see Saint Francis as a brother and friend-as a fellow human being, more sinner than saint. As readers, we travel the journey with him as he battles popes, bishops, and cardinals to carve out an order of his own that is based on simplicity and on serving God through giving to the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContoveros provides for us a Saint Francis who is entirely tangible but inspirational on a spiritual level. From the very beginning, we are fighting for the patron saint of animals and small critters. We are there to experience the vision of \"Lady Poverty\" alongside him, and by the novel's end, we understand him and his vision more fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Di Favarone,Francesco Di Bernadone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500307076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500307073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Clare Di Favarone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458986062079,"sku":"9781500307073","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6e8f4da-0a52-4f8c-9c6d-efd0c84c3f09.jpg?v=1777407715","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/francis-of-assisi-clare-di-favarone-9781500307073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
