Produktbeschreibung

Clare of Assisi: A Woman of Light, Grit, and Faith For centuries, Clare of Assisi has been known primarily as the devoted companion of Saint Francis. But Clare was far more than just a follower-she was a bold and visionary woman who chose a life of radical faith, sacrificing wealth, comfort, and status to embrace a calling unlike any other. In Clare of Assisi, acclaimed author Wendy Murray brings this extraordinary medieval saint to life, uncovering the depth of her courage, perseverance, and spiritual conviction. Abandoning a noble birthright for a life of poverty, Clare endured hardships that could have sent her running back to the safety of her family's wealth. But she remained steadfast, even after Francis's death, forging her own spiritual path and leaving a legacy that continues to shine. This book speaks to anyone seeking strength in the face of trials, longing for purpose beyond societal expectations, or looking for an example of unwavering faith in difficult times. Clare's story is not just history-it is an inspiration for today's world. Discover the light of Clare-her struggles, her triumphs, and her legacy of faith that still calls to us today.
