Picked up "The Lessons of Saint Francis: How to Bring Simplicity and Spirituality into Your Daily Life" not out of an interest in St. Francis but because it was written by one of my favorite performers and speakers over the last 40+ years. John Michael Talbot writing is as clear as his playing, simple truths quietly communicated.
Intertwining his life as the founder of a U.S. monastic community and a multiplatinum recording artist, Dove and Grammy award winner, he clearly articulates the passion Francis had in following Jesus. He illustrates with examples from the 'pop star' version of his life and turns it into suggestions on how anyone can pursue simplicity and spirituality that is required o a follower of Christ. A beautiful book! [5/5]
