A beautifully presented and fully illustrated book detailing the life of St Francis Xavier, co-founder of the Jesuits with St Ignatius. During his short lifetime in the sixteenth century, he travelled to Mozambique, India and Japan. Philip Fogarty's lively account of the remarkable life and journeys of St Francis Xavier keeps the memory of a great saint alive; he also puts his life in the context of how we might be influenced by him. He teaches us that it's worth throwing in your life with the love of God, receiving it and trying to share it, and that what you try to do in the service of God bears fruit somewhere, sometime.
