Heaven on Earth: The Inspirational Writings of Saint Francis of Assisi

After nearly seven centuries the writings of Saint Francis of Assisi are remarkably contemporary. They speak of the joys to be found in nature and of the need for mankind to live as brothers. The selections in this book reflect St. Francis' belief in the value of simplicity in a complex world; of tranquility in a time of anxiety; of inner peace achieved through faith. They are words of inspiration for all men of all time.
