He is Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), a North African theologian whose works are considered by some to be the church’s most important writings after the Bible and a pillar of the faith for a millennium. His collected works in English today fill over fifty volumes, and among them is a very unique one, his “Confessions,” probably the first Christian autobiography ever written. In a collection of thirteen short books, arranged in the form of a series of prayers to God, he tells of his sinful youth and conversion to the faith, and the first includes the famous sentence: “For You have made us for Yourself and our hearts are restless till they rest in You.” There is the potential that “Augustine’s Confessions” could expand our concept of God and our prayers, so that reading it may be time well spent.\u003cbr\u003e\n—Pr.
