The Middle Ages were not so very dark, as the old textbooks say. As you will discover in this intriguing portrait of the first Franciscans, we live in dark ages whenever we become preoccupied with power. In this popular history, Jon Sweeney reveals the timeless temptations that come with being humangreed, competition, ego, and selfishnessas well as the many ways that Francis and Clare of Assisi inspired change and brought light into darkness.Discover how Francis was first found by God and then joined by Clare despite the violent objections of her family. Explore a variety of issues that they faced, including the treatment of lepers in medieval society, corruption in the Church, and attitudes toward the created world. You will also learn how Clares spirituality influenced that of other prominent women, how St. Francis lost control of his own movement, and why Franciss body was secretly buried upon his death.The examples of early Franciscan spirituality challenge any of us who would follow Christ today. How would we view a young person today who rejected family for spiritual reasons? Is it possible for men and women to have deep friendship and remain true to a call to chastity? Is intentional poverty of any value? Have we sentimentalized family to the point of ignoring what Jesus taught his disciples on the subject?Visit Jon Sweeneys blog at www.jonmsweeney.wordpress.com.

I absolutely loved this book! The way it explores the connection between Francis and Clare is heartwarming and inspiring. I bought it as a gift for my best friend, and we both enjoyed discussing it together. Definitely worth a read!

Thought-Provoking but Slow at Times
This book is insightful and offers a deep dive into Francis and Clare's relationship. However, I found some parts a bit slow and heavy. If you're patient, it's worth it. Just don't expect a fast-paced read.

Not What I Expected
I thought this book would be more about the life events of Francis and Clare, but it focuses heavily on their friendship. It's well-written, but I was looking for something different. The cover is nice, though!
