The Confessions of St. Augustine

"The first autobiography ever written, and one of the most profound testaments of faith, ever." "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"
