Deeply moving, deeply intimate, "The Confessions" while well deserving the designation 'classic' is riviting today. The authors unblinking stare at his own heart is humbling and comforting in a deep way. His tender relationship with his LORD whets the appetite for one's own relationship to grow. I am convinced this is the key to its enduring veneration. It was a worshipful experience to read it. I loved it.

I honestly found it very dull and hard to get through. I can hardly remember any of it.

    Sounds good....I'm catholic and I'm pretty familiar with Saint Augustine. I've never heard of this book.

    Can't go wrong for 8.00 on ebay :)
