| Summary | "Brother Francis; Or, Less than the Least" by Eileen Douglas is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and legacy of Francis of Assisi, exploring his transition from a carefree youth to a dedicated servant of God, examining his spiritual journey and the establishment of his religious order. The narrative likely reflects on themes of self-denial, humility, and the profound impact of personal faith as exemplified through the life of its central figure, Francis. The opening of the book introduces Francis Bernardone, a young man living a life of luxury and pleasure in Assisi, Italy. It describes his charming upbringing in a wealthy family and the early signs of restlessness that he feels despite his seemingly perfect life. After enduring a severe illness that prompts him to reflect on his existence, Francis begins to grapple with a sense of spiritual emptiness and is eventually drawn to a life of greater meaning and service to God. Throughout his journey, the text highlights the tension between his past life of indulgence and his emerging commitment to serving the poor and living in alignment with Christian values, setting the stage for the incredible transformation he undergoes.
