St Francis Used Words!

St Francis of Assisi is perhaps the best-known and best-loved saint in the history of the Church. Regrettably, there is a common misconception that he rarely used words to preach the Gospel. Too often this leads people to conclude that it is better not to use words.

In this booklet, the author uses firsthand accounts to refute this myth and paint a true picture of Francis' powerful preaching. Following the example of Jesus and the apostles, Francis used words. The author then concludes this important message with additional lessons we can learn from St Francis for preaching the Gospel in our times.
