St. Francis of Assisi may be one of Catholicism's most popular saints, but he is also perhaps the most misunderstood, often caricatured in birdbaths and gardens. In this Eager to Love Companion Guide, globally recognized teacher Richard Rohr invites readers into the dynamism of Franciscan spirituality. As Pope Francis has also done in several encyclicals, Rohr invites readers into the expansive and inclusive tradition founded on St. Francis's revolutionary embrace of the teachings of Jesus. It is recommended that this guide is read alongside Rohr's Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi.
