TRIUMPH OVER FEARS AND TEARS THE FRANCISCAN WAY ...by Ruth Bollig, SFO "This book is the story of the remarkable life of Alice Przybilla, SFO. It is written in a homespun style that will inspire you and capture your emotions with both sadness and joy. In addition, it will provide a manual for gospel living with a Franciscan perspective. Gospel living means to live a life closely following the words and actions of Jesus as they are found in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Having a Franciscan perspective adds another dimension by looking at the life of St. Francis of Assisi and following his example in his response to living the gospel. The life of a professed member of the Secular Franciscan Order centers on the observance of its Rule. It is written in three chapters. Chapter one of the Rule is St. Francis Letter to the Faithful, written before 1215. Chapter two, "The Way of Life" is the focus of this book. It is included in its entirety because it was a guiding principle in Alice's life and will add perspective for the reader. Chapter three of the Rule deals with organization and regulations." ...from the introduction - by Ruth Bollig, SFO. Paperback, Published November 2011, 75 pages. (Order "RUTH-1 ... Price $9.75 )
