This collection of folk tales, legends, and narratives about the life of Francis of Assisi and his followers appeared about seventy-five years after the saint's death, in the early fourteenth century. The writings have remained popular ever since due to their beauty and charm, and because they are the nearest thing to a biography of Francis that exists. They are the source of many of the most famous stories about Francis--including the accounts of his preaching to the birds and of his receiving of the stigmata--and they are based on stories that circulated about him in the years after his...

For men, pain is very real. So is the power to transform it.In one of the opening meditations of this book, male spirituality expert Richard Rohr writes, We need to fail, to fall, to jump into the central mystery of our own existence, or we ll have no way of finding our true path.

Mit diesem Buch legt der Bestsellerautor Richard Rohr die Quintessenz seiner jahrzehntelangen Praxis und Lehre christlicher Spiritualität vor. Das Wesen aller wahrhaften Religion und Spiritualität besteht weder in Bekenntnissen zu irgendwelchen Lehraussagen noch im Befolgen bestimmter Moralvorschriften. Nicht das Anhäufen von Informationen führt zu echter Erkenntnis, sondern eine neue Sichtweise: Im Zustand des Einsseins, im Hier und Jetzt, im reinen Dasein sind das Wahre und das Falsche, das Gute und das Böse, Gott und Mensch nicht länger absolute Gegensätze. Indem wir das...
