The Perfect Joy of St. Francis: A Novel

Felix Timmermans demonstrates a deep insight and perceptive interpretation of the man Francis and the beliefs that enabled him to move and rock the entire world in this classic. It is a blend of craftsmanship, poetry, and simplicity that plumbs the spirit of Saint Francis, filled with humour, tragedy, and a strange kind of beauty.

Here is the complete Francis, the poet, ascetic, stigmatist, servant of the poor and lepers, and miracle worker. Above all, the spirit of St. Francis is "told as beautifully and simply as Francis' own hymns and words in a book that expresses the joy of St. Francis."
