"Simply Bonaventure" is simply good!!

Prayer Tips from Francis, Clare, and Bonaventure
The goal of Delio, a theologian, in writing this book is to define more clearly the role of Franciscan prayer in making Jesus Christ alive in the believer. To accomplish this aim, she relies on three major voices from the Franciscan tradition: Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi, and Bonaventure of Bagnoregio. The book addresses specifics such as Clare's fourfold path to prayer (gazing, ...
