TO SET THEMSELVES FREE A continuous Guide to the Life and Rule of the Secular Franciscans ...by Teresa Baker, SFO
To Set Themselves Free, by Teresa Baker, SFO, is a book that fills in many gaps of formation. "Allows Secular Franciscans [and others] to look at the past, encourage a truthful encounter with the present, and explore the dialogue between the two which leads to a positive change in themselves and our society. Francis' original intent and design was not much different. He took a long, hard look at his present, examined what Christ had called for in the past, and set out to make changes in himself accordingly. These changes led to changes within the entire society in which he lived." ...the text offers ways to engage in a solid formation to Franciscan life. ...I would especially encourage all formators, whether for initial or ongoing formation, to read the "Guide for Formation Directors" at the beginning of this book.To Set Themselves Free is another fine resource for deepening our understanding of the Secular Franciscan way of life. - Lester Bach, O.F.M.
