Confessions of St. Augustine by St. Augustine - Catholic Saint Book, Paperback, 429 pp.
The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered by many to be the greatest spiritual autobiography ever written. Augustine's Confessions is arguably the first, and unequivocally the most influential, religious autobiography in the Christian tradition. Augustine (who was a hard-core hedonist before his sudden conversion) writes about faith with the reckless abandon of a lover; his descriptions of friendship are so beautiful they'll bring tears to your eyes; and his tributes to his mother, Monica, cast eternally fresh light on the unofficial authority of women in the early Church. 429 pages, Paperback.
