What lessons can a Franciscan of
long ago teach us today? I mean, if we really wanted to find principles for a
better walk with God.
As
our story begins Pastor Charles Falcon has come to a crisis point. Does he
still believe what he preaches? His elders force him to take time off as the
pastor of the congregation he founded. He decides to spend time with his
uncle who is a Franciscan priest learning about Francis Of Assisi. Searching for
grounding Falson finds importance is not
in being head of a congregation but in
service to others.
The
book is subtitled A Pilgrims Tale, As
Pastor Falcon explores layer by layer who Francis of Assisi really was, he comes
to see the contributions made by this visionary.
Is
this a book that I would want others to read?
It
is a good easy to follow journey motif. It is a quest to find a meaning to
life. Cron has a protagonist who is questioning what he believes and why.
He sends
the protagonist on a quest of sorts to rediscover the basis for leadership. He
has lost his purpose for belief and has stopped struggling. Through his search
under the guidance of his uncle who is the Franciscan priest Falson finds peace
and regains his basis for belief.
This
is a book for general reading. There is no great doctrinal shift required. It
is just a good read.
I
was given this book free to review as
part of the Blogging For Books program.
