Marco Bartoli 
Francis’ Nudity [EPUB ebook] 

A young man arrives in the public square to confront his father and his city for its violence and greed. He wants off the social grid. In a dramatic gesture of renunciation, he takes off all his clothes and hands them back to his father and walks away, in search of a new identity and purpose with his God. In this insightful and inspiring book, Bartoli explores the meaning of Francis’ gestures of nudity from his moment of conversion to his ritual of death. They are a window into a life of hope and suffering, loss and peace, a man who uses his nudity to tell his struggle for acceptance by the God that he loves so well.
