St. Francis of Assisi -- the image that comes to mind is that of a garden statue with a bird perched on his arm. But the real St. Francis struggled throughout his life to answer two simple questions: Who are you, God, and who am I? Using Carl Jung`s scientific discoveries about human consciousness, this fascinating new book describes St. Francis` struggle to break away from his comfortable milieu, follow his own heart, and ultimately see that he and God were one. Drawing on St. Francis` own writing, lives of the saints, legends, art, and modern historical scholarship, the author examines in each chapter an aspect of Francis` psycho- spiritual journey in the context of Jungian psychological individuation.
