The Ideals Of St. Francis Of Assisi (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163391686)

The Ideals of St. Francis of Assisi is a comprehensive book written by Hilarin Felder, which explores the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which delves into a specific aspect of St. Francis' life and philosophy. The first chapter provides an introduction to St. Francis and his background, including his early life as a wealthy merchant's son and his eventual conversion to a life of poverty and service to God. The following chapters explore St. Francis' ideals of poverty, humility, and simplicity, as well as his love for nature and animals. The book also discusses St. Francis' impact on the Church and his role in the founding of the Franciscan order. It examines his approach to evangelism and his belief in the importance of living a life of example rather than preaching. Throughout the book, Felder draws on a variety of sources, including St. Francis' own writings, as well as accounts from his contemporaries and later followers. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
