What reading level is St Francis a Troubadour of the Spirit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the founder was in a different position . The model of the Order was Apostolic, and Francis, as the head, stood in the same relation to it as did the Founder of the Church. The very daring of such an idea compelled Francis to balance the noble arrogance of his life- work with a personal abnegation. That THE FRANCISCAN IDEAL 21 this abnegation went too far was admitted by Francis upon his deathbed. Brother Ass (the body) deserves, surely, the same kindly attention that one would bestow upon ...beasts of burden. But Francis was a poet, to whom the very thought of ease was abhorrent. He who preached to birds, and made friends with a wolf, seemed to delight in suffering ; while, by some law of contrast, he turned the black- ness of pain to joy and song, as the jet coal springs to life as Brother Fire.
To each one of us, the Franciscan ideal appears a little differently. I see in it something of the Greek spirit, united with a Christianity that is symbolised by the word Easter a thing risen from Hebraic gloom and pagan dust.
