The Lessons of St. Francis: How to Bring Simplicity and Spirituality into Your Daily Life Book

I read Talbot's book on putting the lessons learned from St. Francis into our every lives along with Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline. I felt both authors from two very difference denominations were aspiring to a simple purpose, bringing their readership into a practical and celebratory life with Chris Jesus. The best chapter in Talbot's book was on peace, as this has been a subject i've been interested in studying within the Christian perspective for some time now. The only bumps in the road for this book is this is very much from Talbot's perspective as a Franciscan monk or quasi monk, i wasn't really clear on that. He's a former hippie and lives in a commune and is apparently a folk rock country whatever musician and he never misses an opportunity to tell you. Besides that, which is really laughable and not sinister in any way, his intention is pure and spiritually driven.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to deepen their understanding on the spiritual disciplines.
