Coles The Story of Assisi: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The Story of Assisi opens a window onto a city where legend, history, art, and devotion are inseparable. In richly illustrated chapters, it traces Assisi from its mythical foundation and Roman past through centuries of conflict, rebuilding, and spiritual renewal, always keeping the Umbrian hill town in view as a living monument of faith and memory. The narrative moves from the Temple of Minerva and the buried remains of antiquity to the struggles of medieval politics, the rule of emperors and popes, and the city's enduring resilience beneath walls, towers, and hidden passages. At its heart stands St. Francis, whose conversion from privileged youth to joyful servant of the Gospel transformed Assisi and the wider Church. His life, and that of St. Clare, are set against the corruption and unrest of their age, while the rise of the Friars Minor offers a radiant answer of simplicity, labor, and love. The book also celebrates Assisi's artistic heritage, especially its frescoes and chapel paintings, where saints such as Nicholas of Myra are brought vividly to life in scenes of charity, humility, and heavenly grace. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
