Confessions is one of the most moving diaries ever recorded of a man's
journey to the fountain of God's grace. Writing as a sinner, not a
saint, Augustine shares his innermost thoughts and conversion
experiences and wrestles with the spiritual questions that have stirred
the hearts of the thoughtful since time began. Starting with his
childhood in Numidia, through his youth and early adulthood in
Carthage, Rome, and Milan, readers will see Augustine as a human being,
a fellow traveler on the road to salvation. Though staggering around
potholes and roadblocks, all Chrisitians will find strength in
Augustine's message: When the road gets rough, look to God! Previously
released in 1977, this book invites readers to join Augustine in his
quest that led him to be one of the most influential Christian thinkers
in the history of the church.
