Murray writes a profound, humane portrait of St. Francis of Assisi, Catholicism’s most popular and least understood saint. Murray stresses in particular the crucial but completely neglected role that Clare of Assisi, one of the fist followers of Francis, played in his life and theology, both before and after his conversion. A Mended and Broken Heart makes a powerful case that St. Francis’s life make him a role model for religious seekers of every faith.
