The Life and Legends of Saint Francis of Assisi
The Life and Legends of St. Francis of Assisi by Father Candide Chalippe, O.F.M., was first published in Paris in 1727. It is not only well written and reliable but also instructive, elevating, and inspiring. The facts and legends mentioned are drawn from the oldest and most reliable sources known at the time of writing. The abundance of incidents and anecdotes not to be found elsewhere make the volume eminently interesting, while the reflections and applications that the author now and then interweaves with the narrative are so replete with practical hints on spiritual life that they will undoubtedly produce the best spiritual results in the reader. The style, though simple and at times graphic, is very pleasing; the narrative flows on with equal ease and freedom.
The Third Testament
Widower Fred Sankt is a professor at a small Catholic college who is not at all accustomed to dreaming. When he begins experiencing a series of profoundly vivid dreams that consistently awaken him at 3:00 a.m., he is not alarmedsimply curious. In the last of his dreams, Fred meets a faceless old friend who informs him that he has been chosen by God to record the next testament of the Bible. Fred decides that, even though it has been nearly two thousand years since the last passage in the Bible was written, if it is Gods will for him to take on a project of this magnitude, he has no choice but to accept. But his entire world is turned upside down when his doorbell rings unexpectedly one evening. After he is served a summons, Fred thinks things cant get worse until he receives the news that his daughter Ellens health is in jeopardy. Despite his personal hardships, Fred soon finds that writing is his only solace. As Fred continues on a spiritual journey to unlock the truth, he creates a treasure for all Christians that ultimately reignites the torch of the faithful.

The Life of St. Francis of Assisi
St. Francis of Assisi is one of the greatest and most recognizeable saints in the history of the Church. His life was a mirror of the life of Christ. In a decadent age, filled with corruption, Francis became not merely an impetus for reform, but a living image of Christ in his virtue and in his flesh through the stigmata. Candide Chalippe's work is not merely biography, it is a spiritual classic written by an author filled with piety and love for Christ and His Church. This new publication edits Chalippe's work and presents it for modern readers in new chapter divisions, with artwork from the Basilica of St. Francis and Renaissance masters. This excellent biography takes us through Francis' entire life, as well as the progress and history of his order in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, compiling sources from all of the earliest authors.
