We reflect on the saint's ways of \"letting go,\" of achieving poverty, of simplicity and non-violence, of entering all creatures. Franciscan spirituality is no different from any other Christian spirituality, observes Bodo. But the way that Francis lives the Gospel has an irresistible attraction for all. \"Francis makes me feel loved; he makes me feel that I matter,\" the author writes. \"That is the power he exercises over us...and that is why so many look to him as the model of what they, too, can be.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a book for all spiritual seekers and lovers of St. Francis--a man who has inspired millions for over eight centuries.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMurray Bodo\u003c\/b\u003e, OFM, is a Franciscan priest and author of numerous books, including the widely read \u003ci\u003eFrancis: The Journey and the Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eClare: A Light in the Garden\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSing Pilgrimage and Exile\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSong of the Sparrow: Meditations and Poems to Pray By\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Way of St. Francis\u003c\/i\u003e.
