WHIMISCAL FRAIR -MONK
I came across this whimsical completely incorrect cigarette smoking Friar or Monk in Newton Iowa a few years ago. He stands 6 inches tall, has some nicks and bumps, minor hairline crack and a black spot on his nose. He needs a home without a tyrannical cat that knocks him around and he prefers a desk of a nonintellectual with a Franciscan attitude. (Order - Friar-Monk. Price $10.00)

CONVERSATIONS WITH ST. FRANCIS
James C. Howell
From the Introduction: "In October of 1984, I found myself in Rome visiting a friend, a former Methodist pastor who had converted to the Roman Catholic Church and was studying theology in Italy. To me, making such a journey, and knowing a priest there personally, seemed almost chic, a heady delight. Facing a break from his studies, Phillip suggested we take the train to Assisi. Little did I know this junket would forever alter my perspective, my passions, and even my habits. Little did I know I would return there many times, not as a sightseer but as a pilgrim, dragging others along so they might experience my newfound friend, St. Francis."
James C. Howell is Pastor of Myers Park United Methodist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. This book is a wonderful read and a profound sharing of his journey - yet to be completed. (Published by Abingdon Press, 107 pages, paperback, size 8.5" by 5.5".

"What interests us is not what he has in common with other heroes and saints of history, and particularly with other Founders of Religious Orders, but that which distinguished him from all others and which constitutes his individuality, his personality, his soul, his spirit, his genius, HIS IDEAL." "It must always remain the wish of his children to live it and to realize it to the fullest of their ability, albeit with due respect to the needs of the times, and to draw fresh inspiration from the one source, the IDEALS of their Founder.

"A religious order is never born completely organized in the spirit of its founder. It begins as an idea with imprecise limits, an unformulated intuition, recognized one day for what it is by the founder and his first diciples. Thus it was with the Franciscans. Through what collective effort did it shift from being Francis' intuition to being the Order of Friars Minor? And what remains of the intuition at this point of the evolution?"

TO CLING WITH ALL HER HEART TO HIM.The Spirituality of St. Clare of AssisiBy Fr. Benet Fonck, OFM.
As much as St. Francis, Clare of Assisi is the model, mirror, and mentor of Franciscan living. A mentor, because this woman teaches us in a clear and imitable way how the Spirit of God calls us to live the gospel ideal and how a human person can challenge others to consider the basic values of a Christ-centered life. A mirror, because whoever looks into her writings and reflects on one's own experiences in the light of her countenance will discover a reflection of the glory of God and the beauty of human witness. A model, because the person of Clare epitomizes the effective fulfillment of the promptings of the Spirit and the urging of the Gospel to follow in the footprints of the Spirit and the urging of the Gospel to follow in the footprints of the poor and crucified Christ. Paperback, 79 pages, was published by Franciscan Press. Comes with free study and discussion guide. Very Limited quantities.

GREY FRIARSby Harold Goad
Harold Goad, author of Franciscan Italy, here examines the immense and far-reaching influence of St. Francis and his followers, not only on the religious though of Europe, but on art, science and politics. It is one of the many paradoxes of Franciscan history that, just as the "poverello," in his life the poorest, after his death opened the richest vein of worldly treasure, so this humblest of all men and least prone to controversy, became a rock on which a thousand streams of faith divided. From the hour of his death until this day, learned and ignorant alike, have told their stories of him and thus, commingled with much fact, a cloud of fiction has all periods involved his shining figure. ...It was largely through the Franciscan intelligence of love that the human mind broke away from the legalistic and dogmatic conventions of medieval thought, That influence is still at work in the world today, and here is a very real message in this book for our bewildered generation." Grey Friars by Harold Goad was first published in September 1947 by John Westhouse Publishers, Londan England, and was reprinted with permission and copyright in 1979 by Franciscan Herald Press. Illustrated by old engravings, 238 pages, hardcover. This book is new and is from our older inventory. (Order GREY FRIARS - Price $25.00)

The lack of vocations, the failure to live simply and the continuing loss of professed women and men even after many years of vowed living, are only the symptoms of the malaise.
