Book Review: St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi by G.K. Chesterton

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
There are quotes from this book that I will forever hold dear to my heart. He also painted a lovely picture of Christ and His love for humanity- one I have never considered or seen before.

I really had a hard time, however, getting through the first few chapters of this book. I had originally decided to give it only 1 star UNTIL I got to the last 3 chapters. In the last 3 chapters everything from the first few chapters, of what I thought was just garble, came together to make the book a real worth-wile read. I won't lie, though, G.K. Chesterton needs to learn to use better grammar and say things only once. He has this habit of repeating the same thing over like 4 times in different ways before moving onto the next point. Above all, though, this books was worth the quick read.
