Yes, Francis wore sandals and preached to the birds, but these pages take you beyond the nature-lover of popular myth to the real St. Francis of Assisi, model of holiness and Christian courage. Here author Michael de la Bedoyere makes Francis and his times live again as he relates with heart-stopping intensity the adventures of this man who, precisely because of his great love for God, strove mightily to overcome his sinful nature. You ll learn the full story behind the famous incidents in Francis s life including his hugging the leper and his sermon to the birds. You ll hear of Francis s perilous journey into the heart of Islam, where Catholics were killed merely for professing Christ and where Francis actually offered to be set on fire to establish the truth of the Catholic Faith! Here, then, is the complete story of the man who cheerfully gave himself to God, without paying the least attention to the cares of this world . . . and did it with constant good humor and unflagging trust in God. St. Francis of Assisi is a superb model for each of us today: an ordinary man who by God s grace was able to do extraordinary things.

In 1931, preeminent historian and scholar Christoper Dawson commissioned a new series (titled Essays in Order), whose purpose was, in part, “to examine the possibilities of cooperation and of conflict that exist between the Catholic order and the new world.” The world was “passing through one of the most critical moments in its history,” and those who hold to and hand on the Catholic faith must respond to the moment with “moral sympathy and intellectual comprehension.” Identifying the leading voices of the Catholic academy and literary circles, Dawson engaged such luminaries as Jacques Maritain, François Mauriac, Theodore Haecker, and Thomas Gilby, to develop a renaissance of Catholic thought in the face of a darkening age. The Persistence of Order comprises fourteen of those commissioned essays, published across three volumes. The second volume contains Dawson on “The Modern Dilemma”; Rudolf Allers on “The New Psychologies”; Michael de la Bédoyère on “The Drift of Democracy”; Nicholas Berdyaev on “The Russian Revolution”; and Gerald Vann, O.P., on “Being Human.” Each with its own distinctive style and approach, the essays speak to the essential elements of a right political order and a vibrant, virtuous society.
