Hard Cover. Good/Good. Written at a time when books for spiritual growth and enrichment did not exist, the CONFESSIONS OF ST. AUGUSTINE speak plainly and powerfully to the seeker of faith today as they did some 1,500 years ago. Penned in the form of a personal journal, this diary follows Augustine's transition from sinner to saint in his ultimate search for truth. Speaking his mind and sharing his heart freely, Augustine pours out the emotion of his experiences on topics ranging from religion to relationships. Considered one of the most influential religious autobiographies of western literature, the Confessions has also been called one of the greatest recorded treasures of the Church.
