About Francis of Assisi
by John August Swanson 117 |
|
|
|
Through inspiring words
and soul-enriching art, here is the story of Francis of Assisi -- from
his life of ease as the son of a rich merchant to his stripping off his
cloak to give to a beggar and embracing a leper. His life of reaching
out and caring for others is a model for all people today.
The reflections by
Marie Dennis describe the gentle, deliberative move of Francis toward
God. This is an invitation "to encounter a holy man whose life is still
relevant to our own journeys, even after nearly eight hundred years."
Marie Dennis is
coordinator of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns in Washington,
D.C. The work of
Los Angeles artist John August Swanson is represented in museums around
the world, including the Art Institute in Chicago, the Tate Gallery, and
the Vatican museum.
Reviews
"Much has been written about the charm of
St. Francis, that best-loved of saints, and Marie Dennis is well aware
of it. But this book concentrates on the Saint's sheer goodness, his
love for God and suffering humankind, his joy in all creation, his
example for us to follow. These lovely qualities are not only explained
but made visually present in the rich, strong pictures of John August
Swanson, on which Dennis bases her text." -- Sister Wendy Beckett
"Saint Francis by Marie Dennis, with
wonderful artwork by John August Swanson, is a beautiful and fresh
presentation of St. Francis. The short but challenging text treats the
external gospel events of the saint's life. The art treats the intuitive
and the internal. The text represents the ongoing challenge of radical
gospel action. The art represents radical gospel contemplation and
prayer. From my experience as a musical artist and hermit, it is the
artwork that makes this book so fresh and unique, the the text is
certainly solid and most relevant. It is a welcome addition to the
ongoing modern development of the library of this simple and wonderful
saint of Assisi." -- John Michael Talbot |
