Saint Francis Of Assisi

A Life Of Joy

BY ROBERT KENNEDY JR, ILLUSTRATED BY DENNIS NOLAN

Brief Description:
Francis of Assisi turned away from his life of wealth and privilege to live with lepers, the "untouchables" of his society. He preached the idea of the sanctity of all life, becoming an advocate of animal rights and environmentalism in a time when even human life often had little value. He found joy in owning nothing, and giving everything away. The story of Saint Francis of Assisi's life is inspiring and radical. It bears important messages for American children living in a culture of casual abundance and waste. Francis of Assisi's life has been an inspiration to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and in this book he re-tells Francis's life to inspire his own children and children everywhere.
