Resumen del Editor
In his confessions, Saint Augustine reflects upon his life in the light of scripture and the presence of God. He begins with his infancy, pondering the many sins of his life before his conversion, and he confesses not only his sins but even more the greatness of God. This work presents a wonderful contrast between the Holy God who created all things and whom heaven and earth cannot contain and a commonly sinful man who has joyfully received God's loving salvation and mercy.
Many scholars consider Saint Augustine to be among the greatest and most influential fathers of the early church. And as you listen to his The Confessions of Saint Augustine, you will find the confident humility that is common among those whom Jesus calls "great in the kingdom of heaven". Augustine wrote as a common man, and so his words span time and tradition. May his confessions guide you to the one whom he confesses.

Historia
This book was written in Latin by Augustine of Hippo (354 - 430) to discuss the Trinity in relation to God the Word (logos). Even though it is not as well known as some of his other writings, it is considered by many to be his masterpiece and of more doctrinal importance than either the Confessions or the City of God. St. Augustine is considered a saint in the Catholic Churches, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion. He is ranked among the doctors of the Church in the Roman Catholic Church.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

Historia
Written between A.D. 413 and 426, The City of God is one of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian thought, a book which is vital to the understanding of modern Western society. Augustine originally intended it to be an apology for Christianity against the accusation that the Church was responsible for the decline of the Roman Empire, which had occurred just three years earlier. Indeed, Augustine produced a great amount of evidence to prove that paganism was responsible for this event. However, by the time the work was finished, the book had taken on a larger theme.

Historia
Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology. Highly influential in the Western world and still widely read by theological students today, it was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541. The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty.

This volume has become a classic work and is known and loved by many throughout the world.

The Apostle Paul gave the Gospel the first place in his preaching, endeavored with all his might to proclaim it clearly, and even went so far as to pronounce a curse upon all those who would pervert its truth. Yet how sad it is that many, even among those considering themselves evangelicals, have reduced the Gospel message to a few trite statements to be repeated and view conversion as a mere human decision.

Historia
Who is Satan? Is he real? How did he become the devil? What is he doing now, and how does he work? What is his ultimate end? This fascinating book describes what God reveals about the archenemy of God and of all believers. Using the Bible, Arthur W. Pink lays out, in an engaging and approachable way, who Satan is, and the “gospel” he uses in his many attempts to confuse and confound the ongoing work of our Lord. This short book is especially relevant to our day, as what Pink saw in “the bud” is now in full bloom and producing much evil fruit.

Historia
One of the greatest crimes of this generation of Christians is its neglect of the Gospel, and it is from this neglect that all our other maladies spring forth. Absent from too many pulpits are the essential themes that make up the very core of the Gospel: the justice of God, the radical depravity of man, the blood atonement. In The Gospel's Power and Message, Paul Washer addresses these essential elements of Christ's good news and provides a guide to help us rediscover the Gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power.

Insights derived from the author’s knowledge of Isaiah’s prophecies as he applies them to many contexts in the Book of Mormon, transform the experience of reading or listening to the Book of Mormon into a journey of fresh scriptural discoveries. The challenge to dig deeper into hidden meanings behind the words we read on the surface, or how events in Book of Mormon times relate to today, starts with this series of revealing mini-studies.

Largely addressing Romans 8, this work extracts understanding and brings clarity to the listener on these widely discussed topics. Despite such a potentially disheartening revelation of the impact and influence of sin, Owen reminds the listener of the triumph of Christ.

From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is “God’s purposeful sovereignty”. Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.

The Catechism of Trent was published in 1566. It was commissioned by the Council of Trent during the period of the counter-Reformation. The document's main task was to clarify the doctrine of the church for the clergy. It enjoyed widespread use within the Roman Catholic world and was considered the authoritative guide for the faithful up until the most recent catechism, which was released in 1992.

Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained here. Not because of the author's brilliance, but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of John. And just as the Apostle John didn't draw any attention to himself, so also J. C. Ryle clearly and wonderfully directs his words and our thoughts toward the inspired words of scripture. If we truly love God, we will love his word; and the more we study his word, the more we will love God.

We don’t talk a lot about sin these days. But maybe we should. The Puritans sure did - because they understood sin’s deceptive power and wanted to root it out of their lives. Shouldn’t we want the same? Though many books have been written on the “doctrine of sin”, few are as practical and applicable as this one. In Knowing Sin, Mark Jones puts his expertise in the Puritans to work by distilling the vast wisdom of our Christian forebears into a single volume that summarizes their thought on this vital subject.

Published in 1651, Leviathan is considered to be one of the most important works of political philosophy and a major contribution to the modern idea of central government. In the mid-17th century, England was going through a turbulent time of change and unrest, which likely shaped Hobbes' ideas on strong government. Thomas Hobbes established the social contract theory. He believed that self-government did not create the ideal state due to the human tendency to be self-serving, something he believed would eventually lead to chaos.

Historia
In My Religion, Leo Tolstoy accuses the church of hiding the true meaning of Jesus, which is to be found in the Sermon on the Mount and the call to resist evil. For Tolstoy, it is this command that has been most damaged by ecclesiastical interpretation. Tolstoy had not always been possessed of the religious ideas set forth in My Religion. For 35 years of his life, he was, in the proper acceptation of the word, a nihilist - not a revolutionary socialist but a man who believed in nothing.

All Loves Excelling is John Bunyan's sermon on Ephesians 3:18-19: "That ye...may be able to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." It was first titled The Saints' Knowledge of Christ's Love, is worthy of being ranked alongside Sibbes, and deals with a much neglected subject area.

Historia
This Puritan classic, first published in the late 17th century, sets forth the biblical teaching of God and his interaction in our lives. No detail is too small or insignificant for God; he is there, working out "all things for good". And in that promise, every believer can take comfort that God truly has a purpose for every single person and will unfold his plan, which includes every detail in our daily lives.

The central issue of Jesus' death is not the cause, but the meaning - God's meaning. That is what this book is about. John Piper has gathered from the New Testament 50 reasons. Not 50 causes, but 50 purposes - in answer to the most important question that each of us must face: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his Son to die?

The weight of glory is a happy burden. Thus God is the happiest Being in the Universe. To know Him in His pleasures is to see Him as He is - and to have a fresh encounter with His transforming presence. If you are hungry for this deep delight, consider the gladness of His great heart. The things that make God glad are the measures of His greatness. Christ and the cross. Choosing His people and bruising His Son. Creating the world and revealing His worth. The gladness of His people in the greatness of His glory.

Of all the autobiographies ever written by mere mortals, Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo is the greatest. In this masterpiece, you will find a doctor of the church longing for the true doctor of the soul, Christ. Taking us from Augustine’s roots in Africa to his encounters with his spiritual father Saint Ambrose in Milan, from his battle against his concupiscence to his famed conversion, Confessions is itself a veritable pilgrimage to the threshold of the new Jerusalem.

Confessions, St Augustine’s autobiographical work comprising 13 books, is not a complete autobiography as it was written during his early 40s. He states his regrets for having followed Manichaeism and believing in astrology, and tells of Saint Ambrose's role in his conversion to Christianity. Besides giving an account of the author’s sinful youth and his conversion, Confessions is also an important theological work, featuring spiritual meditations and insights. The City of God is a book of Christian philosophy.

Whether taken as a book of faith or a cultural artifact, the New Testament is among the most significant writings the world has ever known, its web of meaning relied upon by virtually every major writer in the last 2,000 years. Yet the New Testament is not only one of Western civilization’s most believed books, but also one of its most widely disputed, often maligned, and least clearly understood, with a vast number of people unaware of how it was written and transmitted.

I was disappointed in the content,
I thought Saint Augustine would have more to say. He dwells very long to make a short conclusion He talks for hours about his youth when it could be summed up in a few minutes, I was hoping for more insight about god

Lively translation intimately and prayerfully read
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The text is lively and clearly translated by the well known Wesley theologian and philosopher, Albert Cook Outler, and is well read intimately and prayerfully by Emily Hanna. A woman's narrative voice works well, as Augustine's Confessions are deeply personal and intimate. The inserts of cello played by Peter Plantinga (any relation to Alvin, the famous evangelical Christian philosopher?) at appropriate intervals allow the listeners to pause and meditate at the right moments. What a privilege to "hear" the confessions of St. Augustine! A perfect way to enter Lent or any other spiritual pilgrimage.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Augustine's restless quest for peace, happiness, and truth in the midst of his scattered, dispersed, and distracted life of wonderings, pervades the entire book from the beginning to the end. His powerful words such as "I became to myself a waste land" (2:10) or "in this our straw house" (9:7) found their way into works such as T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" and "The Hollow Men." Augustine was already a post-modern before the dawn of the medieval Christendom, which he dominated also.
His struggle to overcome and to be free of both his carnal desires ("the glue of lust") and, at the same time, of the errors of worldly wisdom never ends. He frankly admits, for example, of taking another concubine after his betrothal (because the two-year wait until the marriage was too long) is as striking as painful; as is his reference to the struggle to purge himself of sensual images in his own dreams that he recounts apparently at the time of writing the book in his mid 40's. (His dream analysis is as interesting and insightful as Descartes.')
His restlessness, however, is not confined to things that are sensual alone. It also pertains to his intellectual quest toward topics such as God, Christ, evil, memory or the mind, happiness, time, creation, etc. But ultimately the book is about finding or reaching God, who is beyond our reach and knowledge. For instance, how are we to understand God, who, as Augustine says, "is near when I am far from Thee"? What kind of space does he dwell, where His nearness is not reciprocal to our nearness and His distance not equivalent to our distance? How are we to understand His time, when He knows what we want before we seek it? He already has the foreknowledge of what we are going to seek in the future. Or, how can we understand the eternity when for Him the past and the future is all in the present?
Augustine gives a brilliant analysis of memory (Book 10) but fully realizes in the end that God is not something we can remember. Thus, he squarely rejects the Socratic mimesis as the source of all knowledge--without ever having read Plato! He cries out in the end: "But where in my memory dost thou abide, O Lord? Where dost thou dwell there?" (10:25) He ends the analysis of memory with a profound admission that we cannot recall God by the power of our memory; and we cannot seek God unless and until He first seeks us: "You touched me, and I am set on fire to attain the peace which is yours" (10:27).
Likewise, at the heart of his brilliant analysis of time (Book 11), he pauses to confess his/our limitations into knowing the nature of time and invokes God's help to enlighten and strengthen him to go on, as he does, in his inquiry. In so doing, Aristotle's association of time with objective motions of heavenly bodies is decidedly refuted. Instead, Augustine locates time in the subjective consciousness, thus paving the way for the 20th century phenomenologist Edmund Husserl, who read Augustine carefully, for his own analysis of time as transcendental consciousness itself, which Heidegger even further developed in terms of the epochal sending of Being (Geschichte or history). (Augustine's words 'memory,' 'attention,' and 'expectation,' are strikingly similar to Husserl's words 'retention,' 'attention,' and 'protention' that he uses to refer to the past, present, and future modes of inner time consciousness.) Without actually having read Aristotle and, for that matter, Plato too (except through the second hand transmissions--for all we know, Augustine only read Plotinus in Latin translation), Augustine's analysis of objectivity, i.e., images (or, in Plato's terms, forms or, in the medieval term, essence) of things and of time is brilliant. His thinking is unparalleled, "perhaps one in a thousand years," as my teacher Adriaan Peperzak told me once. If St. Paul, according to Giorgio Agamben, had singlehandedly determined the fate of Western civilization; St. Augustine had set the entire agenda for the western philosophy and literature. He had dominated the medieval thought without a doubt but arguably also the modern and even the post-modern thoughts.
His affectionate account of the dialogue he had with his mother, Monica, in Ostia while awaiting a voyage to Africa is well known as a classic account of mysticism both he and Monica apparently experienced in the room at the window overlooking the garden (Book 9). One is struck by how fragile such an experience is, however. For even after such a 'mystical' experience he had, Augustine continues to struggle to find peace and rest (sensually, intellectually, and spiritually all around). It is worth dwelling on the account he gives.
Augustine writes: "And when our conversation had brought us to the point where the very highest of physical sense and the most intense illumination of physical light seemed, in comparison with the sweetness of that life to come, not worthy of comparison, nor even of mention, we lifted ourselves with a more ardent love toward the Selfsame (Idipsum)" (9:10). That to which he refers is beyond language and cannot be described. But Augustine attempts to recall what cannot be expressed by prefacing: "What we said went something like this..." No exact account can be given. A provisional or partial recollection will have to do.
What he recalls is conveyed through the Scriptural texts (Psalm 19:1,3; Psalm100:3; Habakkuk 2:20)—as paraphrased and combined—and put under the hypothetical 'if.' He writes: "If to any man the tumult of the flesh were silenced; and the phantoms of earth and waters and air were silenced; and the poles were silence as well; indeed, if the very soul grew silent to herself, and went beyond herself by not thinking of herself; ... if every tongue and every sign and every transient thing... if any man could hear them, all these would say, 'We did not create ourselves, but were created by Him who abides forever' (9:10). If only the whole creation were to fall silent, they would then be able to attest to God; and if we too were to fall silent, we can only then ‘hear’ them speak the inaudible: that they are not the Creator: "for actually if any man could hear them, all these would say..."
They would speak only "if [they] were silenced...." And we could hear them, only if we were silenced. “The heavens are telling the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1, NRSV). This “telling” is both inaudible and audible. Inaudible because they speak in their silence; audible only if we along with the whole creation were silenced. They speak in their silence; and we hear this silent speech only if we ourselves fall silent: “let all the earth keep silence before him” (Habakkuk 2:20, NRSV). In the silence of the heaven and the earth, we hear: “It is he what made us, and we are his” (Psalm 100:3).
What kind of speech is this “telling [of] the glory of God”? What kind of hearing will hear such a speech spoken in silence? Is man, who is said to be ‘a house of being,’ capable of hearing such a speech, as he is said to hear the call of Being in his proper mode of thinking, according to Heidegger? There is no thanksgiving (danken) in Heidegger’s thinking (denken), despite the close etymological connection between the two terms, as Jean-Louis Chrétien correctly observes in The Ark of Speech. Both he and Jean-Yves Lacoste show the plausibility of conceiving human existence in a way other than Being of being: in the way of praise and worship as the essential mode of human existence. To praise in a speech that holds the whole creation together in silence (Chrétien) and to worship liturgically in a vigil awaiting the fullness of time (Lacoste in his Experience And the Absolute) can no longer be discarded simply as pietism of a primitive religion. The silent speech of the whole creation Augustine and Monica heard in their ascent to the “Selfsame” thus offers the direction by which whole of our existence can and must be oriented and redefined.

Beautiful truth and narration, obnoxious plugs
The only flaw is the copyright notice. it's normal to have this once at the beginning or end, or maybe both, but I swear they inserted the same darn plug twenty times or more throughout the book. Word for word the same each time. I find that to be disrespectful to the customer.
