They that seek shall find him, and those who find shall praise him.

The first autobiography ever written, Augustine's Confessions ranks amoung the most profound books in history. But it's more than that; this testament shows how God gives rest to the weary and hope to the hopeless.
“This book is the masterpiece from which all other Christian memoirs flow. Augustine’s astonishing story remains as fresh as it did when he wrote it in the late fourth century. The Confessions still speaks with a clear, vivid and altogether distinctive voice to believers and seekers searching for the One who will give rest to their restless hearts.” —James Martin, SJ, author of My Life with the Saints

    The house of my soul is narrow; enlarge it, that you may enter in. It is in ruins! Repair it! It has in it that which must offend your eyes. I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it, or to whom shall I cry, but to you?
  • Babak Eftekharihas quoted6 years ago
    Evil then, the origin of which I sought, is not a substance at all. For if it were a substance, it would be good. For either it would be an incorruptible substance, and so a chief good, or a corruptible substance, which could not be corrupted unless it were good.
  • Babak Eftekharihas quoted7 years ago
    If you havenot been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will committo your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithfulin that which is another man’s, who shall give you that whichis your own
