The Confessions of Saint Augustine
by Saint Augustine of Hippo & Translated by R.S. Pine-Coffin

Saint Augustine spent his early years torn between conflicting faiths and world views as the son of a pagan father and a Christian mother.

His Confessions were written when he was in his forties. They recount how slowly and painfully he came to turn away from his youthful ideas and licentious lifestyle. And instead, how he became instead a staunch advocate of Christianity and one of its most influential thinkers in history.

A remarkably honest and revealing spiritual autobiography. The Confessions also address fundamental issues of Christian doctrine.

Many of the prayers and meditations it includes are still an integral part of the practice of the Christian faith today.
