Saint Francis

Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge animal lover. I am a vegetarian on top of that, so I’ve always admired Saint Francis of Assisi. When I had the opportunity to check out Saint Francis by Robert West, part of the Christian Encounters Series, I was very excited. I have never been one to enjoy biographies, but West is definitely a talented writer. I felt more like I was reading a fiction novel because he told the story of Saint Francis’s life like a story. I did not know much about the life of Saint Francis, and unfortunately, lots of details of his life are possibly rumors, hear-say, and the like. But West did a great job interweaving fact and fiction. I really did enjoy reading this book. I look forward to checking out other books in the Christian Encounters Series.
