Augustine's Confessions is a work to relish the first time through and then profoundly enjoy over a lifetime of revisiting.

"God is our home but many of us have strayed from our native land.

The venerable authors of these Spiritual Classics are expert guides--

may we follow their directions home." --Archbishop Desmond Tutu

A masterful, new translation of a perennial classic, now available in pocket size! The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered the all time number one Christian classic. Augustine undertook his greatest piece of writing with the conviction that God wanted him to make this confession. The Confessions are, in fact, an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer. Augustine's experience of God speaks to us across time with little need of transpositions. This new translation by Maria Boulding masterfully captures his experience.
