G. K. Chesterton’s classic study of St. Francis.  

“St. Francis was above all things a great giver; and he cared chiefly for the best kind of giving which is called thanksgiving. . . . He knew that the praise of God stands on its strongest ground when it stands on nothing. He knew that we can best measure the towering miracle of the mere fact of existence if we realize that but for some strange mercy we should not even exist. . . . From him came a whole awakening of the world and a dawn in which all shapes and colors could be seen anew.”  –G. K. Chesterton

The Kindle e-book is FREE when you buy the paperback.
