What is the true measure of a holy life?
Called the Knight of our Round Table by St. Francis himself, Blessed Giles of Assisi offered raw, ascetic, and humorous wisdom to seekers on the hillsides of Perugia. Grounded in Rev. Paschal Robinson?s seminal 1906 translation, The Golden Sayings of Brother Giles, this modern adaptation transforms medieval dictates into living breath.
Penned by Baldric the Poet, these pages step away from instructional lectures into shared human experience. Moving through three distinct movements:
Part I: Parables - Enhanced narrative reflections rooted in Robinson?s core themes.
Part II: Travels - Short stories charting Giles?s open-road journeys across Italy.
Part III: Tunis - A fictionalized mission pushing the Franciscan horizon outward.
Replacing feudal hierarchy with universal language (The Divine, The Christ), this work honors the radical, egalitarian heartbeat of early Franciscan life. Complete with a modernized Prayer of Brother Giles and Canticle of Brother Giles, this is contemplative fiction for readers of Henri J.M. Nouwen?s The Return of the Prodigal Son, James F. Twyman?s Giovanni and the Camino of St. Francis. It reads much like Fr. Anthony de Mello?s classics like The Song of the Bird or Awareness. It has similar parabolic and conversational style.
