Augustine of Hippo’s Confessions is a masterpiece of Christian spirituality, a love story between God and the man who would become one of history’s most famous saints. In a testimony both intensely emotional and profoundly theological, Augustine recounts how his restless heart was freed from the grips of worldly attachment and finally found peace in its Maker.
