Turn from fear and find peace with one of the most recognized figures in Christian history.

Saint Francis of Assisi understood that the surest way for a person to turn from fear and find grace was to embrace a life filled with ordinary miracles. And for twenty-first century living, we can learn from the teachings of this beloved sainttofind a path where our faith is made tangible again and where we embrace listening and gentleness in the face of fear and uncertainty.

From author and Saint Francis scholar Jon M. Sweeney comes Feed the Wolf, exploring fifteen spiritual practices from the essential wisdom of Saint Francis. Each lesson begins with an invitation to ""embrace the wolf""—to consider another viewpoint, to befriend our fears, and to discover something new—and illustrates the ordinary miracles of Saint Francis's life, such as touch what is frightening; refuse power; have nothing to lose; spend time in the woods; pray with the moon; turn toward what's simple; and more. The nature of these ordinary miracles is that they can be repeated become spiritual practices that lead us toward peace.
