Story
The City of God is one of the most important works of Christian history and philosophy ever written. The writings of St. Augustine are as intriguing to the casual reader as it is to Christian researchers. St. Augustine's work provides insight into Western thought and the development of Western civilizations. The City of God provides the reader with an artful contrast between earthy cities and those in heaven as a representation of the eternal struggle between good and evil. The City of God was originally penned in the early 5th century as a response to the prevalent belief that Christianity was to blame for the fall of Rome. St. Augustine is known as one of the most influential Fathers of the Catholic Church. Born November 13, 354, Augustine would eventually be recognized as a Saint by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Christian Church, and the Anglican Communion.

Saint Augustine is one of history's most prolific geniuses. With great eloquence and passion, his Confessions - a masterpiece of Western literature - explores enduring questions that continue to stir millions. Perhaps the most moving record of a soul's journey to grace, Confessions appears midway in Saint Augustine's prodigious body of theological writings and remains his most influential work.

The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least because, perhaps for the first time in such a systematic manner, it set out to consider the views of non-Christian figures such as Aristotle, Boethius, Muslim writers including Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and the Sephardic Jewish scholar Maimonides.

Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology.

The Diary is an amazing narrative that chronicles the experiences of a simple, uneducated Polish nun who received a special call shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Our Lord appeared to her and instructed her to spread the message of his Divine Mercy to all, especially in our current age, which is full of so much distress and worldliness. The message of the Divine Mercy is that God loves us all of us. And He wants us to recognize that his mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon him with trust, receive his mercy, and let it flow through us to others.

Again and again in this audiobook, St. Therese shows us how her "Little Way" of love and trust comes straight from Sacred Scripture.

These are the words or sayings (Apophthegmata), of various monks (the abbas, i.e. fathers) who lived in the deserts of Egypt between 250 A.D. and 400 A.D. They cover topics such as love, poverty, fasting, humility, and prayer, and there is usually a short story that gives the context of the sayings. These sayings are one of the few surviving records of the first monks such as St. Anthony the Great and St. Pachomius, who followed a strict way of life. Their sole aim was to draw closer to God through their labours.

Story
Two years before he died, St. Thomas Aquinas, probably the greatest teacher the Church has ever known, was asked by his assistant Brother Reginald to write a simple summary of the faith of the Catholic Church for those who lacked the time or the stamina to tackle his massive Summa Theologica. In response, the great saint quickly set down in language that non-scholars can understand his peerless insights into the major topics of theology: the Trinity, Divine Providence, the Incarnation of Christ, the Last Judgment, and much more.

Impressions on first listening to the book.
This is my first detailed "reading" of any work by St. Augustine, and while the language is somewhat archaic, it is relatively easy to follow. After the first few minutes, the style issue faded into the background for me and I felt myself getting into the flow of the arguments. Worth listening to and thinking about. However, you must be able to allow yourself to accept, if only for the sake of argument, the authors Christian basis for the book. If you reject that basis, and are not willing to at least try to follow his line of reasoning, then I could see how you would get little out of it. The tone, style and pronunciation of the reader (Simon Vance) definitely adds a positive aspect to the audio book. I will have to listen to the entire work several times to extract the full value of this book.

The Confessions and Philosophy of St. Augustine
What did you love best about The Confessions of St. Augustine?
Augustine's personal accounts of his struggles with desire and his coming to the faith have wonderful lessons for any Christian protestant or catholic.
What about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?
To tell the truth I've attempted several times to sit down and read The Confessions, but always found myself unable to process the language. Mr Vance actually succeeds in making the language sound natural and easy to follow. I found myself easily comprehending and actually enjoying this archaic language. Fantastic performance!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Augustine isn't shy about sharing his heart with the reader, I found myself sympathizing with him, even crying sometimes as his accounts inspired remembrances of my own failures.
Any additional comments?
The Confessions, in addition to being an account of Augustine's life and conversion, is also at times a philosophical treatise. Because of this, some parts may be difficult to follow while driving.

A true journey into catholic life
Would you listen to The Confessions of St. Augustine again? Why?
This is an incredibly well read translation of The Confessions, and while it does not correspond exactly to my paper version (ISBN 978-1-937913-70-0) it is still not a modernistic translation. Because of the choice of language used, certain chapters are more challenging to listen to but I will definitely be keeping this one on my iPhone so that I can listen to it frequently.
Would you be willing to try another book from Saint Augustine? Why or why not?
I found this exposition of a mans internal struggle as he moves closer to a life with Christ to be very modern in its honesty and frankness. This is something that we don't necessarily expect from such an old and esteemed source. I am looking forward to reading much more by St Augustine as I feel there is much which I can learn fro his writings. I am looking forward to getting Retractions next, which was written to respond to some of the things in this little book.
What about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?
The way that this book was read, is without a doubt it's single strongest point. Simon Vance was able to project these expressions of thought in a way that both followed the text but also imparted a discussive sense to the work. It was far less the reading of an old book and more akin to listening to a friend trying to explain how and why he found his love of Our Lord. The section on memory and it's nature is particularly challenging for a read as it become a series of internalised questions and these need to be read (as they are here) as questions not mere sentences.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I found Chapter 29 of Book 10 to be incredibly moving, it is a short chapter subtitled 'Hoping in God" and discuses what we all as Christians would seek to obtain, a relationship with God through obedience and trust. It expounds on the concept of 'continence' which is this context means to restrict oneself, ones desires, and ones behaviour to that which is acceptable to your stage of life and your relationship with the church. If you are single, be single and chased. If you are married, love and honour your spouse both with you mind and you body. Obey the commandments and the teachings of the Church and her bishops as Christs representatives and the Apostles heirs.
Any additional comments?
I feel it should be said that I am simply a man who is on his own journey back to the Church after having drifted away for many years. I am not a theologian, nor am I qualified to speak for anyone else's experience with Christ or his Church. However, St Augustine was first a man, and a flawed one at that, but through the eternal love of Our Lord he found his way (often despite himself) back to believing in, trusting in and living in the way of Our Lord. Though the original transcript of this book was written in approximately the year 450, it is as relevant and potent today and still has much to teach us about introspection and the human condition

The Confessions by Saint Augustine is considered an all-time number one Christian classic. Augustine undertook his greatest piece of writing with the conviction that God wanted him to make this confession. The Confessions is, in fact, an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer.

Story
In Confessions, regarded as the first true Western autobiography, Saint Augustine of Hippo lays bare his heart, body, and soul. In this unguarded prayer, a fallible Augustine admits to the indiscretions, selfishness, and licentious obsessions of his youth. He reveals a man of contradictory desires and beliefs, a regretful libertine torn between sin and morality on a spiritual journey toward his conversion to Christianity.
