The Path to San Damiano (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419698903)

John Litwinovich was born in Massachusetts, received degrees in Sociology from Merrimack College and the University of New Hampshire, and has enjoyed a diverse and rewarding career in human services. In recent years he has traveled to Italy to study the lives of some of the most wonderful people ever to have walked on Earth. He observes: "While we are separated by time from people like Francis and Clare of Assisi, nothing prevents us from being as close in spirit to them as we are to our families and friends. It is when we earnestly reach out to them, through learning, prayer and contemplation, that we encounter their beautiful humanity. Anyone who aspires to love in today's world could hardly hope to find more wonderful companions!" John lives in Placerville, California. While not traveling, he spends his free time hiking, trail running, mountain climbing, reading, writing and following the creative work of his wife, Cheri, an artist, and the academic adventures of his son, James, a student of law.
