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 treatises, 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 work to relish the first time through and then profoundly enjoy over a lifetime of revisiting.

An intimate sharing of St Augustine’s thoughts and prayer to God of his life experiences - from rebellion to repentence and redemption of his gifts for God’s glory. I am moved by the posture of reverence and worship that he undertakes in his meditations - and also his vulnerability to plunge the depths of his depravity without God.

Inspiring honest reflections and prayer

What did you love best about The Confessions of St. Augustine?

Augustine's personal accounts of his struggles with desire and his coming to the faith have wonderful lessons for any Christian protestant or catholic.

What about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?

To tell the truth I've attempted several times to sit down and read The Confessions, but always found myself unable to process the language. Mr Vance actually succeeds in making the language sound natural and easy to follow. I found myself easily comprehending and actually enjoying this archaic language. Fantastic performance!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Augustine isn't shy about sharing his heart with the reader, I found myself sympathizing with him, even crying sometimes as his accounts inspired remembrances of my own failures.

Any additional comments?

The Confessions, in addition to being an account of Augustine's life and conversion, is also at times a philosophical treatise. Because of this, some parts may be difficult to follow while driving.

I've been wanting to read this book for years and never considered listening to it in audiobook format. Really glad I did! It's narration really allows for deep contemplation of the ideas it presents. You can pause, give it some thought, jot down some notes and proceed.

Better than I imagined!

I'll start by saying that I'm not Christian but am deeply interested in what has shaped the mindset of western society. as such this was a valuable read. Even if I don't land on the same conclusions as Augustine, find his thoughts on gender roles harmful and his self-negation painful and sorrowing to listen to, I also find his writing lucid, his personality engaging, his intelligence masterful and his vulnerability endearing. Had we lived at the same time and gone to the same university, I might have found him to be an enlivening friend and debate partner.

Deepened my understanding of Christianity, history
