A book on Francis that I’ve found very helpful is Carlo Carretto’s “I, FRANCIS” in which this 20th century Little Brother of the Gospel has Francis speak of his life to the modern world.

Another excellent book on Franciscan spirituality for today (and especially in urban places) is Jamie Arpin-Ricci’s The Cost of Community: Jesus, St. Francis and Life in the Kingdom. Read an excerpt here: http://erb.kingdomnow.org/excerpt-the-cost-of-community-jamie-arpin-ricci/
