Confessions

In this multi-layered masterpiece about his winding journey toward faith in God, the ancient Christian philosopher and theologian Augustine weaves together vulnerable, relatable confessions about his life, thoughts, and feelings. As a mother of four, I especially loved the way he included mentions of his mother’s passion for her son’s soul. Her desire for Augustine to know and love God was touching. Don’t be put off by the age of this work (written between 397-400 AD); Augustine’s story is timeless and a good reminder of the long-lasting benefits of sharing our faith stories.
