The Confessions of Saint Augustine
(eBook)
The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered the all-time number one Christian classic. It is an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer. Saint Augustine traces a story of sin, regret, and redemption that is both deeply personal and, at the same time, universal. It is one of the most moving diaries ever recorded of a man's journey to the fountain of God's grace. Writing as a sinner, not a saint, Augustine shares his innermost thoughts and conversion experiences, and wrestles with the spiritual questions that have stirred the hearts of the thoughtful since time began. Starting with his early life, education, and youthful indiscretions, and following his ascent to influence as a teacher of rhetoric in Hippo, Rome, and Milan, Augustine is brutally honest about his proud and ambitious youth. In time, his early loves grow cold and the luster of worldly success fades, leaving him filled with a sense of inner absence, until a movement toward Christian faith takes hold, eventually leading to conversion and the flourishing of a new life.
