I want to be like Jesus

This review is from the book: Saint Francis by Robert West
As believers in Christ we are all saints. However we usually reserve the term for
someone who has written a book in the New Testament.
Francis of Assisi was not a writer, rather he sought to live his faith in Christ to the fullest. Even unto the point of death.
Undoubtedly Francis would not want to be the focus of this book. Instead he would
rather be the catalyst for change in each of our lives.
Drawn from many sources, Saint Francis, by Robert West, presents the life of Francis from beginning to end. The transformation of a rich man into a beggar. A man who declared himself to be "the most worthless and inadequate sinner on earth".
One man's journey of faith, who touched the lives of countless people, from lepers to the Pope.
In doing so he inspired others to follow by example, and raised up many leaders and followers.
Read and find how he drew himself to God, and how God used him for His purposes.
Then ask yourself if you would do the same.
Thanks to the good folk at Thomas Nelson for providing the book free of charge, for review.
