Synopsis: God’s Fool revivifies the human and spiritual dimensions of Christendom’s most beloved saint. In a lively series of smoothly interwoven vignettes, Green traces Francis’s pampered childhood, his lusty young adulthood, his worldy fancies and desires, his brief but pivotal imprisonment, the jolting stages of his conversion, his maturation as a servant of God, and the establishment, growth, and widespread influence of the religious order that took his name.
