The Lessons of Saint Francis (Book review)

 I'm currently reading The Lessons of Saint Francis: How to Bring Simplicity and Spirituality Into Your Daily Life by John Michael Talbot.

The Lessons of St. Francis on Good Reads

I'm only halfway through the book, but I am really enjoying it.  I've always thought St. Francis was interesting, because of his interest in nature and well, isn't he the patron saint of ecology (I have a degree in biology)?  I definitely wanted to read more about him.  Plus, anything involving simplicity appeals to me.  So far, this has been a great beginner book on St. Francis.  The author also lived in a Franciscan monastery, so he adds his own experiences about the effects of solitude, prayer, etc in the book.
