About this listen

In 1972, a young Franciscan friar named Murray Bodo wrote a unique book about the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Francis: The Journey and the Dream offered people a unique combination of lyrical prose and brief, absorbing vignettes that inspired hundreds of thousands of people all over the world to contemplate the life of the famous saint and see him in a new way.

Fifty years and over 200,000 copies later, this book still captivates people everywhere, and Fr. Bodo is still writing about St. Francis and the Franciscan way of life. His poetic style continues to draw readers and listeners in, and he himself continues to gaze in wonder at the saint who worked nearly his entire life to rebuild the church.

This special anniversary edition includes a new preface in which Fr. Bodo reflects on a half century spent immersed in the Franciscan way.

a wonderful heartfelt tale

written as a novel almost, this is a great journey into the mind and heart of Francis. it underemphasized the social aspect of Francis, but this is hard to capture. the social and friendly love with which Jesus and Francis impacted this world is their most important feature

Beautiful story

I was considering choosing St. Francis for my Confirmation Saint and wanted to read a Francis biography. This was perfect! The author has a true love for Francis of Assisi.
