This timely book brings together the stories of St Francis – his preaching to birds, rejection of wealth, caring for lepers, befriending animals and living simply, his poetry and hymnody in praise of creation that is still sung today – and the influential writings and examples of inspiring Franciscans who have followed him such as Clare, Bonaventure, Duns Scotus and Angela of Foligno, and draws them into conversation with contemporary concerns for our planet. It gathers 800 years of accumulated wisdom and practical examples of how Franciscans have found ways to live at home and at peace with creation. It explores that long tradition and experience to ask what lessons can be drawn for today to challenge and enable readers to re-visit their own relationship with creation.

Inspired by a vivid account of St Francis – where he didn’t merely pray but became prayer – Becoming Prayer introduces readers to the heart of Franciscan spirituality. Drawing on the enduring wisdom of Francis, Clare and generations of Franciscans, including voices like Richard Rohr and Ilia Delio, it offers a rich and accessible introduction to prayer as a way of life.From moments of thanksgiving and praise to silent contemplation, readers will learn how Franciscans aim to pray not just in church, but in every moment. Simon Cocksedge and Nicholas Alan Worssam explore communal practices such as the Daily Office and Eucharist, and delve into prayer rooted in Scripture – through the Passion, the Stations of the Cross, and the Rosary. They also embrace the stillness of solitude: night time reflection, silence and the Jesus Prayer.Rooted in a tradition that speaks powerfully to today’s world, and published in a milestone year for Franciscans globally, this is an invitation to an ancient yet ever-renewing journey of prayer.

“Many of the problems that are encountered in the everyday consultation are diffuse, with important psychosocial components, and are the products of the social contexts in which patients are located. All of these figure prominently in this book, as does the ever growing problem of chronic illness. Measuring the performance of general practitioners figures prominently in some of the activities of the primary care trusts, but not all that can be counted counts, and this is why this book is both interesting and important. Listening to patients and engaging with their affective and social problems remains central to the work on the general practitioner.” Carl May, in the Epilogue “At a time when GPs are concentrating as never before on bio-medical aspects of their work, this book is a very timely reminder of the importance of inter-personal aspects of the care that we provide for patients. Simon Cocksedge argues that listening is work, and he describes the choices that we have during consultations to allow the patient to express their problems, the importance of listening to the development of long term relationships with patients and the importance of ‘being with’ patients during important life experiences.” Martin Roland, in the Foreword ‘This book has arisen from reflections on patients’ everyday stories in my work as a general practitioner. Over several years I have reflected on the mandate that general practitioners are given by society to listen and be available if required. The field of study is the everyday business of being a family doctor and the inter- and intra-personal phenomena that arise as a result.’ Combining analysis of detailed accounts by general practitioners of their everyday work with theoretical argument, this book is an invaluable read for medical professionals in primary care, students of medicine and nursing, GP tutors and all healthcare professionals directly involved with patients.
