Confessions of St Augustine
Confessions of St Augustine
by St Augustine of Hippo
“For you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” — Saint Augustine of Hippo
Of all the autobiographies ever written by mere mortals, Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo is the greatest. In this masterpiece, you will find a doctor of the Church longing for the true Doctor of the soul, Christ. Taking us from Augustine’s roots in Africa to his encounters with his spiritual father Saint Ambrose in Milan, from his battle against his concupiscence to his famed conversion, Confessions is itself a veritable pilgrimage to the threshold of the new Jerusalem. Indeed, its end is not biography but a breathtaking meditation on time and memory, on the human soul and the material world, and on the creative and redemptive power of God himself.
In Dr. Anthony Esolen’s new translation, the esteemed translator and author seeks to retain and reveal the figurative by hewing as closely as possible to the literal, both in the significance of individual words and in the manner of the author’s expression. Confessions is a work of literary art, “one of the most stupendous ever wrought,” he says, immensely rich in insights, and intricate in its returning, again and again, to the questions of a soul in search of truth and of answers ready to be found, if we will only seek, and ask, and knock.
Confessions is like no other book you will ever read. According to Dr. Esolen, “The Confessions is one continued and coherent prayer, a profound profession of faith, and a plea for more, ever more wisdom, ever more love. It is artistic in its whole conception, in its parts and their arrangement down to the merest sentence. It is closer to the Gothic cathedrals that would grace Europe eight hundred years later than to anything that you or I might write about ourselves and our lives.”
In Confessions, the reader does more than encounter Augustine, the boy, the promising youth, the sinner, the teacher, the intellectual wanderer, the hesitant catechumen, and the Christian man set free at last. Through this book, the reader enters into his own spiritual journey, as we cry out to the living God in the depths of our hearts, “Let me know you, O Lord, who know me; let me know you even as I am known.”

A Novel on St Augustine
by Louis de Wohl
This is a stirring novel which deals reverently but realistically with the fascinating life and era of St. Augustine, one of the most remarkable men of all time.
In his vigorous and inimitable style, Louis de Wohl tells the story of St. Augustine's transformation from a vain, sensual youth to the brilliant, devout writer and theologian - the man who conquered himself as completely as he did the adversaries of the Church - whose literary and philosophical masterpieces were to dominate Western thought for a thousand years. He has carefully re-created the exciting historical background of the time - the turbulent atmosphere of the Roman Empire in the last days of decadence - skillfully weaving together the personalities whose lives closely affected Augustine: Monica, his saintly and heroic mother; majestic Ambrose, Bishop of Milan; and many others whom lend richness and depth to the life story of this great Doctor of the Church.
Here is a novel that glistens with the imaginative and vivid drama that epitomized St. Augustine's tumultuous life, presented with a master story-teller's characteristic flair for graphic description, sensitive portraiture and fascinating historical lore.

Saints for Sinners
Nine Desolate Souls Made Strong by God
by Archbishop Alban Goodier
God's grace can conquer every human flaw . . . Christ came not to call saints but to make them often out of weak, stupid, and sinful men. That's why the saints are not only models of holiness for us to imitate they're also reminders that God's grace can outshine every human flaw.
As Alban Goodier's classic Saints for Sinners shows us, even the greatest saints had to battle the same stubborn vices, temptations of the flesh, and bouts of spiritual dryness that afflict you and me today. In these pages, with a style that perfectly blends hagiographical detail, spiritual meditation, and a skilled storyteller's touch, Archbishop Goodier brings us the tales of:

In these pages, with a style that perfectly blends hagiographical detail, spiritual meditation, and a skilled storyteller's touch, Archbishop Goodier brings us the tales of:
- The mercenary fighting man and itinerant gambler who left behind his rough soldier's habits and founded a religious order to care for the sick
- The backward, sickly teenager, disowned by his family and dogged by the Inquisition, who became a miraculous healer and paragon of humble simplicity
- The willful Tuscan beauty with a bad reputation who forsook vanity and lust to answer God's call to live in poverty and penitence<
- The brilliant, brooding Spanish nobleman who gave up everything to be a missionary only to see most of his efforts fail
- The royal chaplain and daring Counter-Reformer who escaped the gallows but had to endure a lifelong interior martyrdom of doubt and discouragement
- The hedonistic heretic and womanizer who traded worldly pleasure for divine happiness, and became one of the Church's greatest theologians
- And other inspiring tales of imperfect souls "made perfect in infirmity"

Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount
Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount
by St Augustine of Hippo
“The kingdom of heaven is the perfect and highest wisdom of the rational soul . . . in which only the righteous and holy shall reign.” — Saint Augustine
Step onto the mount and listen as one of Christianity’s greatest theologians, the Doctor Gratiae —“Doctor of Grace”—unlocks the mysteries of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.
With elegance and depth, St. Augustine reveals the eternal rel evance of this sacred discourse, guiding readers toward a life rooted in humility, righteousness, and divine love. From the Beatitudes, to the “Our Father”, and the call to be “the light of the world”, Augustine’s insights bridge the Gospel’s divine truth with the human longing for purpose and peace.
Whether you, dear readers, are seeking spiritual renewal or theological enrichment, St. Augustine’s commentaries on Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount are a beacon of light for all who long to follow Christ’s path of holiness.

by St Augustine of Hippo
“The kingdom of heaven is the perfect and highest wisdom of the rational soul . . . in which only the righteous and holy shall reign.” — Saint Augustine
Step onto the mount and listen as one of Christianity’s greatest theologians, the Doctor Gratiae —“Doctor of Grace”—unlocks the mysteries of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.
With elegance and depth, St. Augustine reveals the eternal rel evance of this sacred discourse, guiding readers toward a life rooted in humility, righteousness, and divine love. From the Beatitudes, to the “Our Father”, and the call to be “the light of the world”, Augustine’s insights bridge the Gospel’s divine truth with the human longing for purpose and peace.
Whether you, dear readers, are seeking spiritual renewal or theological enrichment, St. Augustine’s commentaries on Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount are a beacon of light for all who long to follow Christ’s path of holiness.

Sermons to the People
Sermons to the People
by St Augustine of Hippo
When the great Saint Augustine was called from his country home to become Bishop of Hippo in the fourth century, his new responsibilities took him away from the solitude of his writing and into the glare of the public eye. The author of two of the greatest works of religious literature, Confessions and City of God, St Augustine became a shepherd to the people, inspiring and enlightening them with his sermons. His skills as a speaker were as great -- if not greater -- than his skills as a writer. According to his friend Possidius, "Those who read what Augustine wrote on the divine topics do get something out of them. But those who saw and heard him in person -- they were the ones who got heaven and Earth."
"Sermons to the People" collects the homilies on the liturgical seasons of the Church that Saint Augustine delivered over the course of his lifetime. This edition is the first to include that vast collection of sermons from Advent, Christmas, New Year's, and the Epiphany.
