 Of all the Catholic Church’s great saints, few are as venerated as Saint Francis of Assisi. The founder of one of the largest religious orders in the Catholic Church today, his is a story that captivates the faithful and historians alike.

This biographical work is a window into that incredible tale. Author Nick Pascoe unspools the remarkable story of the saint and his Franciscan Order with captivating prose and thorough historical research.

Delve into the history of Saint Francis in The Canticle of the Sun: The Life of Saint Francis of Assisi and the Birth of the Franciscan Order by Nick Pascoe.

We begin at the very start, in a town called Assisi in Italy’s Umbria region. Born in 1181 or 1182 to wealthy merchant family, Francesco was not always the humble and devout character we know today.

The first half takes us through those formative years. Discover the important events that led to Saint Francis’ life changing transformations from soldier with dreams of knighthood to estranged son to devoted man of God.

The second half speaks of Saint Francis’ legacy. Step-by-step we trace the history of the Franciscan Order, from its beginnings as the Brotherhood of the Friars Minor to its evolution into a 10,000-strong order that swept the European continent and changed the ecclesiastical landscape.
