From a pilgrimage through the streets of Assisi to contemplative walks on the beaches near his home, Bruce Epperly has pondered the questions of privilege, prayer, and social justice while walking with the teachings of Francis of Assisi. From his roots in reformation traditions, he has a deep understanding of the call Francis received to rebuild the church and the need for constant reformation not only in our personal lives but also in our society and in our religious institutions. He knows that change comes from within, from listening to the spirit of God as we engage in contemplative listening.

Praise for this book

"I have great respect for Dr. Bruce Epperly and, like millions of others, profound love for St. Francis. What a gift to have Bruce Epperly's reflections on this great saint whose example is needed now more than ever! --Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt

"A beautifully written account of a theologian's spiritual journey with the beloved saint. Each chapter moves us, step-by-step, a little closer to the heart of Francis, while offering a transforming vision of mystical activism for our time." --Patricia Adams Farmer, author of Beauty and Process Theology

"Discover the face of Christ on this word-journey through Assisi with Bruce Epperly. He traverses the landscape, shares snapshots of his childhood in dialogue with the life and spiritual development of St. Francis, and offers spiritual practices that call us to greater reflection and activism." --Rev. Dr. Charlene Zuill, Spiritual Life Coordinator Boston University School of Theology

"Details of St Francis's teaching and exemplary life are compellingly and creatively integrated with personal reflections from the author's own spiritual journey, along with offering contemplative practices to ground one's own social justice work. The energy to continue working for environmental justice is grounded in the spiritual exercises he shares with the reader."--Jay Terbush, Pilgrimage Guide and Intentional Interim Minister, United Church of Christ
