The Beatitudes and St. Francis of Assisi

The Beatitudes and Francis of Assisi is a 8-part Bible Study of Matthew 5:1-12, the section of scripture referred to as "The Beatitudes." These eight principles are explored through a pilgrimage of study with full-color images of the real places discussed in each section.

In this book, you'll also explore how these teachings influenced St. Francis of Assisi, a true example of a holy and intentional response to God's word. Pairing this Christian saint with how he responded to scripture gives us perspective on how we can apply Christ's teaching to our time and culture.

The Beatitudes and Francis of Assisi is the first study in the Hagios Study Series. The name come from the Greek word hagios meaning "holy, set apart by God, saint."
