The Life of Saint Bernardino of Siena (Paperback)

The following life of St. Bernardino is, as the reader will quickly perceive, by the pen of no great scholar or theologian. It has been the writer's sole endeavor to utilize the original sources at his disposal so as to furnish the reader with a living portrait of the Saint, with a graphic picture of his time and environment, and above all, to discover the secret of that motive power which caused his preaching to be attended by such marvelous results. Illustrated. Contents: Formation of Saint and Preacher; Missionary Life; Time of Trial; Sermons; Strict Observance; His Latter Years.
