Chasing Francis by Ian Morgan Cron

Chasing Francis is a different sort of book about St. Francis of Assisi. Instead of the usual biography this was a fictional account of a modern day pastor on a journey “chasing” after Francis going to the literal places that Francis went to all over Italy.

I was surprised to see several negative reviews of this book by other reviewers, but I must admit that I knew almost nothing about Francis of Assisi beforehand so I cannot attest to its historical accuracy. Neither am I an avid reader of fiction, so may not have as many fiction works in my own reading history to compare this one too.
