Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) is considered the patron saint of ecology because of his love of all creation - "Be praised, my God, for Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Sister Water, Sister Mother Earth..."

From kissing a once-feared leper to forming a deep friendship with Sultan Malik al-Kamil during a horrific war between Muslims and Christians, Francis invites us to live "perfect joy!"

"Sister Water, Brother Sultan is a warm and deeply loving introduction to the life of Francis of Assisi and a useful devotional resource for all practitioners of spiritual nonviolence."

• Rabia Terri Harris, Muslim editor of Fellowship, a multi-faith magazine of peacemaking published by the Fellowship of Reconciliation, USA.

"Very powerful while being very accessible to virtually anyone."

• Jeff Feldman, hermit.

"This is a greatly needed book for all in the world today, so impacted by violence of many kinds. It is also an essential companion to all who desire deep spiritual growth."

• Mary-Ellen Francoeur, Sisters of Service, Pax Christi.

"I have come to know Leonard as one of the greatest teachers of nonviolence of our time. He brings the mystical mind of a contemplative master to his work."

• Gregory J. Gillis, retired secondary schoolteacher.
