To read Augustine's CONFESSIONS, one of the most moving diaries ever recorded of a man's journey to the fountain of God's grace, is to see the author, not as a saint with a halo and superhuman holiness, but as a fellow traveler like ourselves. Eloquently and passionately, Augustine explored spiritual questions that have stirred the earts of thoughtful men since time began. By sharing his innermost thoughts, Augustine influenced Christian thinking more than any other church Father.
