Amazon Customer: Great book but I would suggest it for beginners.

Doctor G: As a cradle Catholic who was afforded many religious education sessions, I was very pleased how this book opened my eyes to many aspects of my church that I took for granted or did not really think about. Darretta’s book presents those aspects in a very clear manner that includes many thought provoking imagery that gives one a clearer understanding and appreciation of what we encounter through our senses when we enter a church. I would highly recommend this book as a supplement for RCIA candidates, for teachers and students in religious education classes, for a book club discussion or just for the spiritual enrichment of an individual.

Alastair: Augustine was very popular among the Reformers and I can see why. An incredible testimony, mixed with a lot of Theology, laid out with lots of scripture. I’m definitely going to read more of his works. This is a very long read so that’s a pre-warning, but the book was incredible. Highly recommend

Penguin: Saint Augustine is hailed as the most important theologian after Apostle Paul. More than a millennium after him, Martin Luther was an Augustinian monk and John Calvin cited Augustine most in his work. In other words, there may be greater theologians after him, but they enjoyed the advantage of having Augustine before them, an advantage that clearly Augustine could not have had.

He was born in 354 and died in 430. Therefore this book was written about 1600 years ago! This is a translation for Augustine did not write in English. There are many versions of translation of this work - I do not know why or the general shortcomings of the translations, but this version reads nicely and, I believe, authentically. Saint Augustine was a professor in Rhetoric before he was a monk. He was a highly learned person. That is to say, when you pick up this book, be mindful that you are reading one of the greatest minds of his time and writing was his strength. What I would say about this translation is that it does not pose a barrier between us and the great mind. Furthermore, its prose is sophisticated and poetic. I believe therefore this is a faithful reflection of the original work. It is...

B. Marold: I read this entire book on Kindle with Professor Pine-Coffin's translation; however, I found his edition, as realized on Kindle, was not the best. At many points in my reading, I had to consult the notes in the Oxford World's Classics edition translated by Henry Chadwick to find an explanation of an obscure reference. The Pine-Coffin edition on Kindle is assiduous in having drill down notes for all the definite, and sometimes speculative references to biblical passages. The Chadwick translation has that and many, many more notes on Augustine's history and on lexical matters. Chadwick has another advantage absent from Pine-Coffin. The standard text of the Confessions is divided by Augustine's own Book numbers and "Chapter" or section numbers. Editors have added an additional division of chapters into paragraphs. Virtually all references to the Confessions includes these paragraph numbers. The Chadwick edition has these numbers. The Pine-Coffin edition (both on Kindle) does not.

I do not know Latin, so I could not check the translations, but I'm confident that both are professionally translated into good, modern colloquial English. The advantage of having the paragraph...

Jim Martin: To think this work was written 1600 years ago! The fact that this masterpiece is still in existence is amazing, and also, as you will see, a rare gift.

What we find here is a very honest account of one man and his quest to find himself through all of the obstacles that life throws at you on a daily basis. The first thing that struck me is how sincere and honest St. Augustine is. He literally pours out his heart on every single page. Speaking directly with God, he discusses almost every facet of his life from: birth, parents, philosophy, education, mankind, loneliness, despair, gossip, sin, doing right, doing wrong, the joy of doing wrong, and eventually salvation and service.

After years of adversity, we see St. Augustine at long last, turns his heart toward God, and he accepts the faith of Christianity as his own. This is a volume that should be read by all, not just by Christians. We can all learn a thing or two from St. Augustine like `no one is perfect'. Only God knows how many times we falter, and how many times we drift even further from doing the right thing. But, the important note is that after St. Augustine realized he couldn't fight it anymore, and that...
