The Confessions of St. Augustine 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 childhood in Numidia and continuing through his youth and early adulthood in Carthage, Rome, and Milan, this book shows Augustine as a human being, a fellow traveler on the road to salvation. If you are fighting changes in your life, struggling to know God more, or staggering around roadblocks in your faith, Augustine's confessions will stretch your mind and enrich your soul.

Confessions is a work best digested in small doses with appropriate contemplation and consideration of the confession. The narration is good. However, if you are familiar and comfortable with the KJV language usage of "thee and thou," you will be satisfied with this translation from Latin to English. If not, then you should select another version. Besides this, the work is rich and rewarding. His work is a transparent dialogue. It confronts the reader with the timeless realities of the human struggle for St. Augustine, his time, and ours through his spiritual autobiography of trials, tribulations, joys, sorrow, and ultimate conversion to the Christian faith.
