In a secular age that offers a buffet of spiritualities focused on the self and on personal transformation, leading practical theologian Andrew Root shows the difference between these reigning mysticisms and an authentic Christian view of transformation.

Includes the complete Road to Assisi, Paul Sabatier's ground-breaking and foundational biography of the saint; the complete Francis in His Own Words: The Essential Writings; and The Little Flowers.
