FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FINDING FRANCIS, FOLLOWING CHRIST NOW AVAILABLE
Detroit, MI (DATE, 2008) – Finding Francis, Following Christ, authored by award-winning Capuchin friar Michael H. Crosby, is a thought provoking integration of Franciscan spirituality and Francis’ life, challenging the reader to explore peacemaking in today’s violent world.
“Francis is our model for the gospel in action,” Crosby explains. “Some have described my work as being provocative. That is not my goal. I have attempted to make connections, demonstrating Francis’ spirituality and peacemaking and how we can use this model to discover a just peace in today’s world. How are we living our Christian discipleship in today’s world?”
Author of fifteen other books, Crosby examines Francis as a joy-filled example of humanity at its best.
“Francis remains fresh and relevant,” Crosby states. “Francis’ message continues to speak to the needs of our world and to our hearts.”
Finding Francis, Following Christ, 240 pages, is available for $20.00 and can be purchased through the Orbis Books.
Michael Crosby is a Capuchin Franciscan friar. He lives in community with other friars in a downtown Milwaukee parish that serves the urban poor, homeless and marginated. His own ministry revolves around his attempt to proclaim the gospel of God’s Trinitarian reign and the conversion that is needed to bring about Trinitarian relationships of equality at all levels “on earth as it is in heaven.” Specifically, it attempts to help develop a spirituality of discipleship for U.S. and other “First World” Catholics. This effort has two main expressions: corporate reform and church reform.
Since 1973, Crosby has been a pioneer among Catholics in promoting corporate reform through socially responsible investing. He was influential in getting Catholics to work with the Protestant and Jewish communities in this effort at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR). He has been very involved in a wide range of issues--from South African and infant formula to global warming and tobacco control. He coordinates the work of religious institutions in the Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, Dakotas (WIM/CRI) who are part of the ICCR.
Crosby’s preaching and writing on contemporary biblical discipleship has taken him around the world. Toward this end, he gives retreats, workshops and parish missions. All of his latest books have received awards from the Catholic Press Association of Canada and the United States, including a First Place for his Can Religious Life Be Prophetic?
