Once involved with popular television programs such as \u003ci\u003eGeneral Hospital\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Doctors\u003c\/i\u003e, Straub was raised Catholic but later embraced atheism after a disillusioning experience working for a prominent Christian evangelist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eYet his searching spirit and creative imagination continued to draw him toward questions of faith, meaning, and spiritual truth. His quest eventually led him to the Umbrian hills of Italy, where he became profoundly captivated by Francis and Clare—two extraordinary figures whose lives embodied simplicity, devotion, compassion, and radical love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBlending memoir, biography, meditation, and pilgrimage, Straub intertwines the stories of these beloved saints with his own struggle to rediscover faith. This is not a conventional or fast-paced narrative. Instead, it unfolds gradually, inviting readers to slow down, reflect, and approach each chapter as spiritual meditation. With every page, the book reveals deeper insights into Francis and Clare while exploring the timeless human search for purpose and the courage required to confront our most vulnerable spiritual questions and fears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlthough presented as an introduction to Franciscan thought and history, \u003ci\u003eThe Sun \u0026amp; Moon Over Assisi\u003c\/i\u003e offers something more personal and ambitious: a moving guide to Christian pilgrimage and spiritual renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;
