The Little Poor Man of God

By Fernando Davalos

The author describes the life and times of Francis of Assisi and his soul mate Clara of Assisi, whom he considers were the more faithful prototypes of how to truly live the gospel of Christ on this earth. They managed to do this by sparing no personal sacrifices to align their minds, emotions, bodies, and souls to truly imitate Jesus Christ life and example, and it describes how they were able to achieve this enormous feat through their surrender to poverty, chastity and obedience, and by doing it they managed to rebuild a decaying and dying Christian church.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

(1 Corinthians, 3:18. KJV)

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he
