Summary: Life changing
Comment: Few works have made as strong an impact on my spiritual life as this book. A wonderful compilation of faith building and humbling stories from the life and times of St. Francis of Assisi and his first followers.
Rating: 5
Summary: Little lessons learned through little flowers
Comment: Living in an age of weights, measures, logic and reason, a pragmatist may see little reason in reading The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi. However, recent terrorist attacks draws me and--most likely-many of us away from the methodical.
Vintage Spiritual Classics provides us with a preface and introduction of Francis Bernardone, showing us why he needed to become so close to God. They, the preface and introduction, explain this need on a level we may all understand. St. Francis wanted ecstasy and a life not burdened with want, greed, lust and avarice.
Each snippet throughout the body of the book provides a theme, an adventure and a moral that will pull the reader from this world to St. Francis's. Teaching us temperance, piety, and selfless rewards for good deeds and prayer.
I am hopeful that this book and others provided by Vintage will help provide solace and peace to those affected by the recent, tragic events.

Summary: Saint literature at its worst
Comment: This is the nadir of literature having to do with the saints. The stories are pure fantasies by some early followers of St . Francis. You won't learn anything here about St. Francis but will learn something about how free some individuals feel to manufacture tales out of thin air and then pass it along as fact. This has been in print for centuries, inexplicably. That I used to know people who accepted this book as history is even more amazing. St. Francis is wonderful enough without needing nonsense like this to bolster his reputation.
