"Saint Augustine's contributions to Christian theology are second to no other post-apostolic author in the whole sweep of church history. Yet along side his doctrinal treaties, Augustine tells a story of his life devoted to Christ as his only satisfaction. The Confessions is at once the autobiographical account of Augustine's life of Christian faith and at the same time a compelling theology of Christian spirituality for everyone. Among the most important classics in Western literature, it continues to engage modern readers through Augustine's timeless illustrations and beautiful prose. Augustine's Confessions is a book to relish the first time through and then profoundly enjoy over a lifetime of revisiting."@en
"St. Augustine, born at Tagaste in Numidia (Constantine) in 354, was raised by a devout Christian mother. He abandoned the Christianity in which he had been brought up and had an illegitimate son. After hearing the sermons of Ambrose, he began a great internal struggle which led to his conversion in 387. The Confessions describes his conversion, shedding light on the questions that troubled him on his way to the Cross. The earliest of autobiographies, The Confessions remains unsurpassed as a sincere and intimate record of a great and pious person laying bare his soul before God."@en

"The story of the conversion of the brilliant Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD). Confused by his mother's devotion to Christianity and his father's paganism, Augustine is caught for many years in a depraved and immoral existence. Intellectual pride, indecision, and lack of trust prevent him from changing his ways, until he is finally persuaded to read a passage from the Scripture, whereupon he is irresistibly drawn to Christ."@en

"By his own account, St. Augustine of Hippo (A.D.354-430) lived a life of sin until his conversion to Christianity at the age of 32. The Confessions are a history of the young Augustine's fierce struggle to overcome his profligate ways and achieve a life of spiritual grace."@en
"Leonardo Defilippis recounts the story of the conversion of the brilliant Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD). Confused by his mother's devotion to Christianity and his father's paganism, Augustine is caught for many years in a depraved and immoral existence. Intellectual pride, indecision, and lack of trust prevent him from changing his ways, until he is finally persuaded to read a passage from the Scripture, whereupon he is irresistibly drawn to Christ."
"Written shortly after he became Biship of Hippo, "Confessions" highlights Augustine's childhood in Numidia and his riotous youth and early manhood in Carthage, Rome, and Milan. It also chronicles his continuing struggle with sin and his efforts to find satisfaction in Manichaenism and Neoplatonism. Particularly poignant are his mother's tireless efforts to rescue him from self-destruction and his dramatic conversion to the Christian faith at age 32."@en
"Candid and fascinating, Augustine (who was an avowed hedonist before his sudden conversion) writes about faith with the reckless abandon of a lover. The fourth-century bishop of Hippo in North Africa, Augustine, wrote The confessions, the first true autobiography, to confess his sins and proclaim God's goodness. It has been a standard of spiritual literature ever since. The Confessions is both the account of Augustine's journey to the Christian faith and a compelling theology of Christian spirituality for everyone."
