St. Francis of Assisi, by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/st-francis-of-assisi-by-g-k-chesterton-2/

Saint Francis of Assisi grew up in a wealthy family and his early life was characterized by splendor, riches and a lavish lifestyle. During an illness, he supposedly had a vision, after which he became disillusioned with his lifestyle and began giving everything away to beggars. His conversion was gradual, but after a pilgrimage to Rome, he supposedly hid in a cave to avoid his father's anger and then began to live a life of poverty and contrition. He is forever associated with simplicity and nature. (Summary by Lynne Thompson)
