Resumen del Editor

This is not an audiobook about Saint Augustine. In a way, it's an audiobook Augustine has written about each of us. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith has spent time on the road with Augustine, and he invites us to take this journey, too, for this ancient African thinker knows far more about us than we might expect.

Following Smith's successful You Are What You Love, this audiobook shows how Augustine can be a pilgrim guide to a spirituality that meets the complicated world we live in. Augustine, says Smith, is the patron saint of restless hearts - a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits. Augustine spent a lifetime searching for his heart's true home and he can help us find our way. "What makes Augustine a guide worth considering," says Smith, "is that he knows where home is, where rest can be found, what peace feels like, even if it is sometimes ephemeral and elusive along the way." Addressing believers and skeptics alike, this audiobook shows how Augustine's timeless wisdom speaks to the worries and struggles of contemporary life, covering topics such as ambition, sex, friendship, freedom, parenthood, and death. As Smith vividly and colorfully brings Augustine to life for a 21st-century audience, he also offers a fresh articulation of Christianity that speaks to our deepest hungers, fears, and hopes.

Elevates your perspective and draws you in....

I wanted to find out more about St. Augustine without actually reading any of his works.... (That's just me) So i chose this book based on reviews. Wow, I'm so glad I did. It's a book that you digest in small helpings and it changes the way you look at yourself and the world and a 4th century African bishop and your relationship with Christ and your need for friends in your life, aka the church. So glad I joined the author on this journey. And I love the narrator's British accent and mastery (whether right or wrong, they're convincing) of the pronunciation of all the different names and terms that Mr. Smith uses in this text. What keeps it from being "dusty" are constant references to finding St. Augustine's principles and counter-principles in modern day cultural references: movies, music, poetry, philosophy, etc. Highly recommended for seekers of truth.and humanity...

Amazing

The true story of our modern souls: an ancient Saint has been there already! What a delight, and truth all the way.

Recommended for anyone curious about St. Augustine

The narrator is technically good, but I had been expecting the author (who I have heard before) to read it. It to me a while to get used to the voice.

Fantastic

St. Augustine combined with Kerouac? Brilliant. Absolutely loved this book. I highly recommend for the adventurer and academic.

The final chapter is worth the price of...

The brief final chapter was particularly moving, perhaps in part because it provided the final resolve to each of the previous chapters. I will be revisiting the chapters on addiction and on fatherhood. Outstanding!

Superb

This was a superb piece of philosophy that blends the questions of a Bishop from 1600 years ago that seem to be questions we are still asking today because they are part of the human experience and desires across the ages. Very good. Highly recommend!

Renewed a passion for Augustine for me

I admit that Augustine had become passé for me. By JK Smith’s work completely changed that. The first few chapters were a bit slow, but after I hit a certain point...a certain sentence actually, the whole book, including the first 2 chapters completely opened up for me. Augustine, more than being a medieval systematician, is a cartographer of the heart. That sentence made me realize that I had totally misunderstood all of Augustine, even his work on the Trinity. It made reading Smith’s book on someone I had left behind years ago (except when I needed a quote) not just enjoyable but eye opening.
