Publisher's Summary
From a pilgrimage through the streets of Assisi to contemplative walks on the beaches near his home, Bruce Epperly has pondered the questions of privilege, prayer, and social justice while walking with the teachings of Francis of Assisi. From his roots in reformation traditions, he has a deep understanding of the call Francis received to rebuild the church and the need for constant reformation not only in our personal lives but also in our society and in our religious institutions. He knows that change comes from within, from listening to the spirit of God as we engage in contemplative listening.
What the critics say
“I have great respect for Dr. Bruce Epperly and, like millions of others, profound love for St. Francis. What a gift to have Bruce Epperly's reflections on this great saint whose example is needed now more than ever! (Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt)
"A beautifully written account of a theologian's spiritual journey with the beloved saint. Each chapter moves us, step-by-step, a little closer to the heart of Francis, while offering a transforming vision of mystical activism for our time." (Patricia Adams Farmer, author of Beauty and Process Theology)
“Discover the face of Christ on this word-journey through Assisi with Bruce Epperly. He traverses the landscape, shares snapshots of his childhood in dialogue with the life and spiritual development of St. Francis, and offers offering spiritual practices that call us to greater reflection and activism.” (Rev. Dr. Charlene Zuill, Spiritual Life Coordinator Boston University School of Theology)
