A story of spiritual awakening, The Confessions of St. Augustine is a fascinating look at the life of an eminent Christian thinker. Widely seen as one of the first Western autobiographies ever written, it chronicles the life and religious struggles of Augustine of Hippo, from his days as a self-confessed sinner to his acceptance of Christianity as an older adult. Along the way he unveils his theological questioning of human existence and the essence and nature of God while providing influential philosophical arguments on creation and time. Augustine's sincere and inquisitive attitude will inspire any listener, regardless of faith. Translated by R. S. Pine-Coffin.

Engaging

A very compelling account of the challenge of desire and the problem of inflation and the search for God. Interesting to see how the passage of time has not substantially changed the main issues.

Compelling

In the most positive way this account is as far from “saintly” as it is possible to imagine. St Augustine’s account of his life and progress towards Christ is amazingly direct and to use modern parlance, real. He pulls no punches and gives a warts and all account of his very un-saintly youth. A very worthwhile read.

Surprising.
