From AudioFile:

In a soft, lilting voice Murray Bodo narrates vignettes from the life of Saint Francis, whom many know as the man who talked with birds and animals. Bodo speaks with a light accent as he recounts different scenes from Saint Francis's life and dreams. From his boyhood among wealthy nobility to his conversion experience while observing a crucifix at San Damiano and the creation of his religious order, which focused on helping the poor, each account is rendered with empathy and sensitivity. Bodo interprets his own work with poetic style and personal insights. This is an excellent spiritual resource. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
