Little Church in the Wilderness
by Richard L. SmithLittle Church in the Wilderness is a novel that is both absorbing and inspirational. The story takes place in the 1870’s when a Catholic priest gifted with the ability to heal both body and soul is sent as a missionary to Upper Minnesota. After the Civil War, Father Todd Edward Bose is ordained in Baltimore and his bishop sends him to the village of Whitefish near the Canadian border to form a parish and build a church. His life in the wilderness is filled with many trials, challenges, and adventures. Upper Minnesota in the 1870’s is sparsely populated with only Indian villages and a few logging towns only accessible by Mississippi River steamboats. A small contingent of Irish Catholic families migrated from Boston to Upper Minnesota in 1870 to scratch a living out of the skimpy soil and harsh winters. They miss access to the Sacraments, so they petitioned the local bishop in St. Paul to send a priest to form a parish and build a church. The bishop asks his friend, the Bishop of Baltimore, to send a missionary. He selects a newly ordained priest, Father Todd Bose, to serve that Catholic settlement. Young, energetic, dedicated, and gifted with special talents, Father Todd accepts his assignment and travels by train, boat, and horseback to Whitefish. Unaware that God has blessed him with special graces as a healer, he settles in the village, builds the church, and serves his parish as both priest and medic. His unique talent as a healer becomes well-known throughout Upper Minnesota and both Indians and townsfolks ask for his help. Father Todd is an amalgam of the traditional of service, dedication, and love so characteristic of the many of the priests I have known. All the characters depicted in this story as well as descriptions of places that existed over 100 years ago are fictional.

Little Flowers of Francis of Assisi: A New Translation
by Robert H. Hopcke Paul SchwartzThis collection of folk tales, legends, and narratives about the life of Francis of Assisi and his followers appeared about seventy-five years after the saint's death, in the early fourteenth century. The writings have remained popular ever since due to their beauty and charm, and because they are the nearest thing to a biography of Francis that exists. They are the source of many of the most famous stories about Francis--including the accounts of his preaching to the birds and of his receiving of the stigmata--and they are based on stories that circulated about him in the years after his death.Robert Hopcke and Paul Schwartz provide the first truly new translation of the Fioretti in forty years, and in doing so they bring the spiritual classic up to date, using contemporary language to show Francis to be a living, breathing human being who walked the streets of Assisi in a state of spiritual, physical, and social enlightenment, through his own existence making Christ real in the world.The translators have also edited the work to present the stories that most powerfully present Francis's spirit and teaching.
