Confessions of Saint Augustine

By: Saint Augustine

Narrated by: Simon Vance

Saint Augustine's contributions to Christian theology are second to no other post-apostolic author in the whole sweep of church history. Yet along side his doctrinal treatises, Augustine tells a story of his life devoted to Christ as his only satisfaction. The Confessions is at once the Autobiographical account of Augustine's life of Christian faith and at the same time a compelling theology of Christian spirituality for everyone. Among the most important classics in Western literature, it continues to engage modern listeners through Augustine's timeless and beautiful prose. Augustine's Confessions is a book to relish the first time through and then profoundly enjoy over a lifetime of revisiting.

This accessible and accurate translation of The Confessions comes alive with Simon Vance’s narration. Vance is an award-winning audiobook narrator with hundreds of titles to his credit, including classics by Charles Dickens, H. G. Wells, and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Positive and humbling

These confessions are very much dated yet there's a timelessness to them due to human nature and the challenges that exists in the lives of every person. I connected with St Augustine on many of his points but I was not as moved by these musings as I had hoped to be, based on the recommendation of an author with whom I have tremendous respect.

Inspiring honest reflections and prayer

An intimate sharing of St Augustine’s thoughts and prayer to God of his life experiences - from rebellion to repentence and redemption of his gifts for God’s glory. I am moved by the posture of reverence and worship that he undertakes in his meditations - and also his vulnerability to plunge the depths of his depravity without God.

Masterpiece

An important book in our spiritual inheritance. Praise God. Such an amazing translation. I highly recommend reading this book.
