About this listen

If you think you know Francis of Assisi, you're in for a surprise.

Discover the astonishing life of Brother Francis, the fun-loving son of wealth and privilege who gave up everything for the sake of Christ.

As a young soldier, he encountered suffering. As a victim of war, he began a search for inner-meaning that would redirect his life. As a holy beggar, he embraced lepers, shook hands with the Pope, debated a sultan, and touched the lives of millions.

Now the power and passion of one of the world's most popular saints is captured in Brother Francis: The Barefoot Saint of Assisi, an exciting 10-part audio drama from the Augustine Institute Radio Theatre. Dozens of accomplished, award-winning actors bring characters to life, and cinematic sound and music will quicken the imagination. An unforgettable experience that will inspire your heart and stir your soul.

A Great Production Telling The Story of Francis of Assisi

I wanted to understand the life of St Francis and came across this audible presentation. It’s much more than an audible book, more of a full theatre production with multiple voices and characters. It made the story very interesting to listen to.

Elightening

Very enlightening, the narrator brings St. Francis to life so we can know him in a more down to earth manner than usual.
