St. Francis of Assisi

Beschreibung

The Complete Works of Saint Francis of Assisi presents a profound collection of writings that reflect the spiritual depth and simplicity of one of Christianity's most revered figures. This compilation includes the foundational texts of Franciscan spirituality, such as the Canticle of the Creatures and the Rule of the Third Order, characterized by their poetic language and passionate call for humility and harmony with nature. St. Francis's literary style transcends traditional religious discourse, blending lyrical expression with practical teachings that resonate with both medieval Christianity and contemporary eco-spirituality, thus situating his work within a rich historical context that speaks to the divine in all creation. St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) emerged from a wealthy family yet chose a life of poverty and service, drawing inspiration from his radical encounters with the marginalized. His deep connection to nature and a mystical understanding of the divine compelled him to advocate for peace and simplicity. This transformative journey shaped his writings, which emphasize love for God, compassion for all living beings, and a radical rethinking of wealth and power. This book is essential for readers seeking to understand the heart of Christian mysticism and its relevance today. It opens a pathway to a spirituality that honors the interconnectedness of life, making it invaluable for scholars, environmentalists, and anyone drawn to the timeless wisdom of simplicity and love.

The Letter in the Bible - What...

Tessa Marie Vaughn

When Hannah Briggs returns home for her father’s funeral, she isn’t prepared to unearth a secret that shatters everything she thought she knew about him—and herself. Hidden within the pages of his worn Bible is a letter addressed to a woman named Eleanor, a name she’s never heard but somehow feels strangely connected to.
 
As she digs deeper into her father’s past, Hannah turns to Joshua, her childhood friend and a quiet bookbinder with his own unspoken feelings. Together, they piece together a love story lost to silence, regret, and time—one that forces Hannah to confront the fragile lines between memory and truth, faith and forgiveness.
 
But as long-buried emotions begin to rise and the bond between her and Joshua deepens, Hannah must decide if she's ready to open her heart—not only to her family's complicated legacy, but to a second chance she never saw coming.
 
Can love bloom in the aftermath of grief and uncertainty? Or will the truth she uncovers leave her even more lost than before?
