I have always been interested in the life of St. Francis of Assisi. I grew up in a Baptist household, so the only thing I really knew about him was that he was the Patron Saint of animals. I later learned about the stigmata. I had read another biography on Saint Francis. But when I had the chance to review My God and My All by Elizabeth Goudge, I was glad to have another opportunity to learn more about him.
First
of all, the book is beautifully written. For a biography, it was easy to read. The author's background as a novelist definitely
shines through. I enjoyed this as it made his story even more
compelling. It was really amazing to me to learn so much more about
St. Francis' life and just how much he did. You can really see the
passion he had for Christ through Goudge's writings and how much of a humble
man he was.
I
would encourage anyone wanting to know more about Saint Francis of
Assisi to pick up this book. As someone who did not know much, this
book was an easy and engaging read for me.
I
received a free copy of this book from Handlebar Publishing in
exchange for my honest review.
