A popular speaker and award-winning author ( You Are What You Love ) invites readers to meet the ancient African thinker who can help believers find themselves and a faith that speaks to their deepest hungers and hopes.
As Smith vividly and colorfully brings Augustine to life for 21st-century readers, he also offers a fresh articulation of Christianity that speaks to our deepest hungers, fears, and hopes..
Addressing believers and skeptics alike, this book shows how Augustine\'s timeless wisdom speaks to the worries and struggles of contemporary life, covering topics such as ambition, sex, friendship, freedom, parenthood, and death.
What makes Augustine a guide worth considering, says Smith, is that he knows where home is, where rest can be found, what peace feels like, even if it is sometimes ephemeral and elusive along the way.
Augustine spent a lifetime searching for his heart\'s true home and he can help us find our way.
Augustine, says Smith, is the patron Saint of Restless hearts--a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits.
Following Smith\'s successful You Are What You Love , this book shows how Augustine can be a pilgrim guide to a Spirituality that meets the complicated world we live in.
Smith has spent time on the Road with Augustine, and he invites us to take this journey too, for this ancient African thinker knows far more about us than we might expect.
