The Little Flowers of Saint Francis of Assisi

By: St. Francis of Assisi,Wyatt North

The Little Flowers of St. Francis (Italian Fioretti di San Francesco) is a body of work divided into 53 short chapters, on the life of Saint Francis of Assisi which was composed at the end of the 14th century. The book has been the most popular account of Saint Francis' life and relates many colorful anecdotes, miracles and pious examples from the lives of Francis and his followers (such as Saint Juniper). The text was the inspiration for the Roberto Rossellini’s 1950 film Francesco, giullare di Dio (“Francis, God’s Jester”) which was co-written by Federico Fellini.

The Little Flowers of St. Francis

A Paraphrase

By: Brother Ugolino of Monte Santa Maria,Donald E. Demaray,Saint Francis (of Assisi)

St. Francis of Assisi's ecstatic embrace of a life of poverty revolutionized Christianity even as it transformed the ethics of the West. In this luminous and lively book, St. Francis's followers preserved his legend and those of his first disciples, combining stories of miracles with convincing portraits of men who were no less human for having been touched by God.

Swallowed Up in God

The Best of Francis Asbury's Journal and Letters

By: Matt Friedeman

Francis Asbury was an American hero. Actually, he was a British subject, who lived his adult life in America, and became a hero to the vast majority of those he served and of many contemporary evangelicals who have read and pondered his impact on history. British or not, when you think of Asbury, it is difficult to see him as any less than “American hero.” But he was more. He was a Kingdom hero; America was the land of many lost, Asbury came by assignment and stayed while others fainted, faltered, found more comfortable refuge and flew back home to England.It is said of him that he “changed American popular religion – and by extension American culture – as much as anyone ever has. America is one of the most religious nations on earth, and Asbury is an important reason why.Concerning the personal journal of Francis Asbury: The bishop wasn't necessarily eager for a future chronicler setting down a perspective of his life. Indeed, Asbury thought his day-to-day account of ministry in America was going to be the determiner of his legacy and he thus spent significant time re-reading and editing it.He thought his Journal would be quite enough. The truth is that the Journal is not only enough; it is too much. So there is excuse for a biography to abbreviate and to interpret more concisely. This editor has agreed that the Journal is indeed too much for most modern yet interested readers, but highlighted portions may be just right. Some of his letters from a 1958 compilation have been added to provide even more perspective from a slightly different angle. Both the journal and letters will provide inspiration and a ready grasp of the key player in the leading evangelistic frontier of the latter 18th and early 19th centuries. Some of these portions are “quotable quotes” that can and ought to be memorized and rearticulated as opportunities arise. Others could be used for historical perspective and sprinkling in appropriate sermons and writings. Some of the passages are chosen not so much to provide a fascinating quote as to provide a cultural or personal angle to the era. Perhaps this small volume could lead many to read a good biography of Asbury or even read the Journal itself – the truly interested will not be disappointed in the latter. We have called this the “best” of the Journal and his Letters. But it is just one man's reading and penciling in the margins. In the reading and marking, enough intellectual and spiritual pleasure was found that sharing the findings seemed only natural.
