Books with author Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine

Augustine undertook his greatest piece of writing with the conviction that God wanted him to make this confession. The book in fact is an extended poetic, passionate and intimate prayer.The Confessions is considered to be the greatest Christian classic. Augustine's notorious life before his baptism raised questions about the genuineness of his conversion. It is his honest struggle with the faith which has given The Confessions such timeless appeal over the last sixteen centuries."Augustine's Confessions has been much translated: but it is no exaggeration to say that Sister Maria Boulding's version is of different level of excellence from practically anything else on the market." (Rowan Williams - Archbishop of Canterbury)

He writes about Nebridius's role in helping to persuade him that astrology was not only incorrect but evil, and St. Ambrose's role in his conversion to Christianity. He shows intense sorrow for his sexual sins, and writes on the importance of sexual morality.
