The Confessions of Saint Augustine: Annotated (Calvary Editions)

Book excerpt: Do you want to know about the life of Saint Augustine? If so, this a must read, this book is a collection of 13 books. The Confessions of Saint Augustine, as one reviewer said, I highly recommend this book to everyone, Christian or not. St Augustine's book is an intellectual master piece, albeit, he wouldn't put it that way; he simply sought to have an avenue to express his innermost distresses and shortcomings, while also providing a brief outlook into his life, and what it meant to live during his time.The Confessions of Saint Augustine is an autobiography written by Saint Augustine. The confessions were not only meant to encourage conversion, but it offered guidelines for how to convert. Saint Augustine extrapolates from his own experiences to fit others' journeys. Augustine recognizes that God has always protected and guided him.
