What if the secret to a life fully lived has been hiding in plain sight for eight hundred years?

Francis of Assisi is one of the most recognised figures in human history. But most people know only the statue - the birds, the brown robe, the gentle smile. They do not know the hard-drinking merchant's son who wept in a prison cell, the young man who stripped naked in a public square and walked away singing, the unarmed peacemaker who crossed a war zone to sit with an enemy Sultan, or the mystic who bore on his living body the wounds of the crucified Christ.

The Little Poor Man tells the real story - and the real story will astonish you.
Written in rich, devotional prose and brought to life with stunning classical artwork, this short but deeply moving book walks you through nine defining moments in the life of Francis of Assisi, from his restless youth in the silk-scented streets of medieval Italy to his radiant, joyful death on the bare earth he loved.
This is not a book about a saint from long ago. It is a book about a hunger you recognize. A restlessness you have felt. A question you have never quite been able to answer.

Francis found the answer. He lived it so completely that eight centuries later, the world still cannot look away.
Neither will you.
