Synopsis
A beautifully written and spiritually uplifting biography of one of the most beloved of Christian saints: Saint Francis of Assisi. Inspired by the Renaissance frescos which decorate the walls of the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, award-winning novelist Valerie Martin recounts the life of Saint Francis in a series of vivid scenes that gather ordinary and extraordinary moments. The author bases the biography on numerous sources, including the very words of Saint Francis. Redencion is both a window to the medieval world as well as a dazzling portrait of a hero whose inspiring legend resonates across religion, borders, time and space.
