From the popular Vision Book Series of saint biographies by Ignatius Press. This book tells the stories of St. Francis of Assisi, who preached in the marketplace and gave up family and fortune to devote his life to God and His poor, and St. Clare of Assisi, who left her castle to establish a convent. In this Vision Book, Helen Walker Homan has captured all the excitement and beauty of these two popular saints' lives, and their centuries-long influence on the whole world through their radical living of the Gospel and founding of two great religious orders. Recommended for 8th grade students. 187 pp.
