This biography presents Francis not as charismatic or as a man of the rule, but focused on his own times and in his relationship with his brothers. We have here a synthesis of spirituality revealing an entire life experience. How does one begin to describe the spirituality of the Poverello, a man who has touched the lives of people for over eight centuries? Decades later the question is still being debated as reflections and discussion of the uniqueness of Francis’ spirituality gain importance.
