PRAYER OF ST.FRANCIS
by James F Twyman (9781899171545)

St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most endearing and human characters of the Middle Ages. His influence today is just as strong as 800 years ago when he was founding his Order, talking to Popes and carrying the message of peace to the infidel. St. Francis traveled with the crusaders not to fight the Muslims, or even to preach to them, but to persuade them, and the Christians, to make peace and live together in harmony. This book focuses around his prayer, Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace, and in a series of charming vignettes, it shows how the prayer develops in the course of his pilgrimage through Italy towards the East and an uncertain fate.
This book reads like an adventure mystery story, yet also brings a message of peace, love and hope. We travel with Francis and Brother Leo from Assisi to Syria, meeting fascinating characters and learning life lessons along the way. While a certain element of fiction has been added, the basic story is true. St. Francis' message is timeless, and this book brings him to life as few others have.
James F. Twyman has been drawn to the life of St. Francis since early childhood, and his own ministry as the Peace Troubadour has been based on the example of Francis' life, the simple way he expressed his love of God and his dedication to peace. It is the author's deep connection with the spirit of St. Francis that draws us deeply into this story up to the inspiring and surprising ending.
