The early Celano biographies of Saint Francis for the first time all in one volume.
A modern retelling of the life of St. Francis of Assisi, this book combines historical details and dramatic style. The author explores the daily lives of Francis and Clare and the lives of thirteenth-century Assisi and beautifully translates their stories in these pages. "St. Francis: The Saint of Assisi" reads like both a love story and a biographical account of the life of the most universally acclaimed saint.
Robert Waldron's new book serves as an introduction to the life of the world's favorite saint. The author explores Francis from three perspectives: biographical, psychological and aesthetic. His book is innovative because he understands Francis through our new science of psychology and through the beauty of Bellini's masterpiece St. Francis in the Desert, the painting shown on the cover of the book. For a psychological understanding Waldron employes Carl Jung's theory of individuation: the steps taken by Francis to become his True Self. Waldron also employs Bellini's painting to shed light on St. Francis the mystic, he who was gifted by God with the Stigmata. Waldron also addresses Francis's poem The Canticle of the Creatures, offering an exegesis of the poem that also provides insights into the saint's life as Christian and as a mystic. Waldron's book provides a Study Guide that encourages the reader to go more deeply into understanding Francis's life.

The subject of growing scholarly appreciation and interest, Francis Lieber (1798-1872) gained international renown as one of nineteenth-century America's preeminent public intellectuals. He is also recognized as one of the most distinguished faculty members in the University of South Carolina's institutional history. With Francis Lieber and the Culture of the Mind, Charles R. Mack and Henry H. Lesesne draw together an international group of scholars from fields as diverse as Lieber's own multifaceted interests - cultural studies, history, law, linguistics, art history, philosophy, religion, and political science - to commemorate and reevaluate the German-American thinker's legacy to the twenty-first century.
Frank felt his heart beat fast. At that moment he was certain God was calling him, asking him to give up his ties to his homeland and set out across the Atlantic Ocean. He did not hesitate to stand when John Wesley asked preachers to walk forward if they felt God was calling them to the American colonies. One of the first Methodist bishops in America, English-born Francis Asbury devoted his life to ministry, traveling on horseback to preach and teach to those living on the vastly isolated American frontier. Alone in a new country, with no home of his own, Asbury rode over 300,000 miles-across rivers and through rocky, overgrown roads-shining God's light on the fledgling colonies. When many Methodist clergy left America during the Revolutionary War, Asbury stayed. His tireless leadership sawthe movement grow from 5,000 members in 1776 to 214,000 at the time of his death in 1816, fulfilling the great destiny of his call and inspiring future generations.
Francis Ford Coppola

Of all the American filmmakers who emerged from the 1970s, Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939) may be the one most passionately revered by both critics and mainstream audiences. The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II are landmark epics whose shots and dialogue sequences have become wholly absorbed by popular culture. Apocalypse Now, his visionary reworking of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, remains an enduring and controversial template for all future films about the Vietnam War. Coppola's films featured pivotal roles for such actors as Robert Duvall, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Gene Hackman, and Harrison Ford and cemented the reputations of Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro. His production company, American Zoetrope, helped to launch the careers of directors George Lucas, John Milius, and Carroll Ballard. Francis Ford Coppola: Interviews shows Coppola to be both an intensely personal auteur and a studio-savvy Hollywood player. From the beginning of his career to the present, these conversations reveal him to be brash, candid, sensitive, and willing to engage in heated debate. He reiterates his desire to change the Hollywood system from within and talks openly about the creation of his independent film production company. Featuring interviews conducted by film critics Michael Sragow and Gene D. Phillips and the New Yorker's Lillian Ross, among others, the volume shows how Coppola has evolved from hotshot film maverick to elder statesman of American cinema. Gene D. Phillips, S.J., is a professor of English and film history at Loyola University, Chicago. He is the author of several books on film, including Godfather: The Intimate Francis Ford Coppola, and is the editor of Stanley Kubrick: Interviews (University Press of Mississippi). Rodney Hill is a doctoral candidate in theater and film at the University of Kansas, and his work has been published in such periodicals as Literature/Film Quarterly and Post Script. He cowrote with Gene D. Phillips The Encyclopedia of Stanley Kubrick.

With vivid, four-color pictures on every page, the book shows Francis becoming a brother and friend to all- lepers, the poor, and animals too.The story begins with the saint's birth and joyful youth. After military service, imprisonment, and illness, Francis has a dramatic encounter with God. He then gives up everything - even the clothes on his back - in order to follow Jesus in poverty and humility. Among the episodes in the life of Francis are the taming of the wolf of Gubbio and the first living Nativity scene. Also included is the conversion of Saint Clare, who was inspired by Francis to leave her life of luxury in order to give herself completely to the love of God.
NOMINATED FOR THE PULIZER PRIZE FOR FICTIONFrom Literary Titan: ***** Set in 1875, Starmen, by Francis Hamit takes readers to the El Paso branch of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, where a complex and unusual case unfolds. Anthropologist George Frazer seeks the agency's assistance to connect with the local Apache community for a matter that has piqued his personal interest. Concurrently, the appearance of a mysterious hot air balloon over the town marks the beginning of a series of extraordinary events. The narrative weaves through the Pinkertons' investigation of a missing Chicago heir and Frazer's astonishing discovery about the Apache tribe, gradually intertwining concepts of string theory and quantum mechanics, suggesting a universe far more complex than its characters comprehend. Starmen is a creative fusion of Western motifs, magical realism, and elements that might seem anachronistic for the late 19th century. Its ambitious nature is evident in its length and depth, making it more suited for readers looking for an immersive, rather than a quick, reading experience. Readers will note echoes of the HBO series Westworld and elements reminiscent of Back to the Future Part III within its pages. The story boasts a rich tapestry of characters, offering a multitude of plot threads that create a vibrant and complex narrative. This intricacy reflects the engaging journeys of the protagonists as they navigate their adventures. Hamit thoughtfully provides resolutions to the many twists and turns, aiming to satisfy the curiosity and imagination of readers through diverse and creative storylines. Hamit's narrative is a tapestry of gunslinging, romance, extraterrestrial life, witchcraft, and parallel universes. Such a rich mix of themes presents a formidable challenge in achieving a concise conclusion, but the author is more than successful.Starmen is a richly layered novel that masterfully blends historical facts with fantasy, creating an immersive and captivating reading experience.
