I read this book for a theology course I took during the fall semester. It is a lovely non-fiction biography of Saint Augustine’s confessions of his youth to adulthood. I got a great sense of conscious view from each of Augustine’s experience as a man, adulthood & sainthood. As well his education and sins that he’s committed that soon he learned the moral lessons of. Also find how is discovered the greater love of God. It was definitely an unforgettable book and a fascinating read.

Although good, this translation is not great. Augustine does talk about his struggles with lust which I liked as well as the ending when he goes through the first chapter of Genesis and why God did the things that he did. I think the praise that he used was laudable.
