St. Francis of Assisi: The Way of Poverty and Humility

The focus will be on six elements of his life and spirituality-his conversion; his relationship to the created world; the creation of the Christmas crib at Greccio; the role of learning; the relationship between the active and contemplative life; and his stigmatization at LaVerna in 1224, two years before his death. I believe that a detailed discussion and analysis of these aspects of Francis's life will best introduce the reader to Francis of Assisi -from the Introduction.

Dr. Cook will briefly speak of his foundation to help the poor receive a better education, which will lead to a better life. https://www.billcookfoundation.org
