Summary

The first autobiography ever written, Augustine's Confessions ranks among the most profound books in history. But it's more than that; this testament shows how God gives rest to the weary and hope to the hopeless --"This book is the masterpiece from which all other Christian memoirs flow. Augustine's astonishing story remains as fresh as it did when he wrote it in the late fourth century. The Confessions still speaks with a clear, vivid and altogether distinctive voice to believers and seekers searching for the One who will give rest to their restless hearts."---James Martin, sj, author of My Life with the Saints --Book Jacket
