"Xavier's generosity speaks to every age and seldom so clearly and compellingly as in this book." -The New York Times t The example set by Francis impressed all who met him, rich and poor, cultured or sav age-even the King of Portugal, who tried to dissuade him from going to India, a voyage that took Francis more than a year. The pri vations and terrors of his missions took a heavy toll, but Francis went on. t Everywhere the Papal Nuncio went, he left a trail of converts and an impressed populace in his wake. In Japan, despite hostile Buddhist monks and abbots, Francis made great prog ress. And, on the very eve of his setting out for the conquest of China, four hundred years ago, he died. But by then his fiery zeal and tremendous spirit had caught hold of so many people that his name and work still live on. SET ALL AFIRE was originally published by the J.B. Lippincott Company.
