Description
As a young boy Francis was enamored with the stories his traveling merchant father would bring home. His love for telling tales and stories often carried others and himself through war, sickness, and poverty. Eventually, this gift would help him in his new life of faithful obedience to God. Francis' life as a soldier also influenced his dedication as a soldier of Christ. This reprint from 1910 works wonderfully as character building reading material and would make a great book report writing project. Students will learn that understanding one's neighbor allows them to help better in their time of need. To not just give, but to give out of a place of love. Add biographies to your reading rotation to introduce new and interesting people along with a style of biographical literature. 91pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
