Resumen del Editor
Written by Saint Augustine of Hippo, Confessions is the saint's autobiography that features 13 books that detail his early life and his conversion to Christianity as a result of the sin that he had incurred in his youth. Throughout the series, he also delivers his philosophical ponderings and ideas on theology, and it becomes evident that each event that has occurred in his life has had something to do with religion, as Saint Augustine is able to bridge the connections between these two very important topics. His sinful ways, he explains, came to an end when he traveled to Milan, where he realized for the first time that Catholicism would be the answer to his seemingly interminable quest to find freedom from sin.
While the first three quarters of the book detail his youth and his journey toward God, the last quarter of the book is really his attempt to encourage people to follow in his path. He aims to inspire all who hear Confessions and convince them that though they may have sinned in their lives, they can always make a return to God. Saint Augustine closes with a very thought-out and detailed analysis of Genesis and the Holy Trinity.

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.

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.

John Bunyan admitted he was one of the worst sinners to have ever lived. But after converting to Christianity, he was constantly amazed by the fact that God saved him from his wrongdoings. As a minister of the Gospel, he loved to proclaim the grace of God to sinners, and he earnestly persuaded them to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ. Published in 1688, the year of his death, The Jerusalem Sinner Saved brings together the fruit of Bunyan's thoughts on the grace of forgiveness.

Historia
Doubt as to moral and spiritual truth is distilled through a score of channels. Our seats of learning are hotbeds of agnosticism. Our literature, with rare exceptions, makes light of God and jokes about sacred things. The newspapers, the radio broadcasts, public utterances, and private conversations are steadily but surely removing the foundations of righteousness and destroying what little faith in spiritual things still remain.

Historia
In The Mortification of Sin, Owen states not only that sin remains an active and negative force on the lives of Christians, but also that there is a highly effective way to combat that evil force and temptation along with it. 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.

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.

Historia
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
The leviathan is the vast unity of the State. But how are unity, peace, and security to be attained? Hobbes’ answer is sovereignty, but the resurgence of interest today in Leviathan is due less to its answers than its methods: Hobbes sees politics as a science capable of the same axiomatic approach as geometry.

Thomas Watson was one of the most famous Puritan preachers in history, and his 17th-century writings are still read across the world today. A highly influential example of Puritan writing, The Great Gain of Godliness is Watson's study of Malachi 3:16-18. British Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon bemoaned the fact that he couldn't find a copy of The Great Gain of Godliness.

Perfect Narration Delivers Profound Wisdom
The Confessions of St. Augustine is the autobiography of Saint Augustine of Hippo, which details his conversion to Christianity. Through his philosophical ponderings and thoughts on ideology, it is clear that many of the events in Saint Augustine’s life tie back to many ideals and values found in Christianity. Saint Augustine provides readers with many great insights into the nature of sin and the ability to be reborn in Christianity.
For anyone interested in the history of the Christian church, this book is a must read. Not only will readers and listeners learn a lot about the early days of Christianity, but many of Saint Augustine’s life lessons can be transferred to present day, meaning that each read or listen will bring new things to learn.
Because this book is written in “Old English”, listening to the audio is highly recommended rather than simply reading it, which can be quite challenging. The proper enunciation of the narrator helps to communicate Saint Augustine’s ideals the way it was intended to, ideals that are important to anyone who follows the Christian faith.
David McCallion really does a wonderful job not only with his dictation but also his pace, and pronunciation of words making the text easier to understand, which is key when reading a text that has this much history behind it. Overall this is a great book to add to your collection and a very delightful listen.

A Landmark Text and a Fitting Narration
That every thoughtful and thinking person should read this work goes without saying.
Fortunately, McCallion's narration does the work justice. He avoids pretension and over-dramatization, and captures both the personal tone and gravity of Augustine's treatise.
Like many works of this depth, where every phrase is weighty, I find it best to listen at slightly less than normal speed to allow the meaning to sink in.

Great book! Great reader!
Very inspiring book! Those who are religious and those who are not would be able to relate to St Augustine's story. Reader is excellent! Definitely recommend it!

Beautiful and Amazing!
Deeply profound and most beautiful. Full of the sweetness of God's truth. May God grant me the level of esperitual awakening and understanding that Saint Augustine had.

Magnificent
I absolutely love this book. A great narrator. True insight into the nature of sin and regeneration. Would recommend this to anyone willing to become accustomed to the old English. Go in with a dictionary.

Essential Read
Would you listen to The Confessions of St. Augustine again? Why?
I will listen to this over and over. So many profound lessons and key`s to unlock oneself from the mire of sin.
What about David McCallion’s performance did you like?
Very well read by him. It comes to life and you can feel the words, and one speaking.
Any additional comments?
Those who complain that the english is difficult need to grow up. You're not reading "See Spot Run", the subject matter is profound, and deserves to be expressed with profound language. If your mind isn't capable of grasping the language, you're certainly not capable of grasping the content. This book isn't for you.

Not a great reading
I got a little ways into this and realized Mr. McCallion really didn't understand what Augustine was getting at. He sounded bored and exasperated. Augustine was, I think, trying to highlight his arrogance and foolishness of his youth with his later understanding of God (not unlike Solomon in Ecclesiastes). Unfortunately, with this reading it sounds more like somebody being forced to recite the telephone book after class for a month for pulling a girl's braids.

Ruined by narration
This is the first time I've attempted to read Augustine.
I absolutely hated this audio book, the prose seemed way too archaic and I was extremely bored throughout it. After about two hours I gave up thinking life's too short to continue with this. At first I blamed the translation, but eventually I got the Simon Vance version and wanted to give it a second chance. With the Simon Vance narration, the book seemed lively and wonderful. I came back and relistened to parts of this one and discovered that they appear to be the same translation, how could it have been so tedious before and wonderful this time?
The problem is the narrator, he reads with a weird cadence, almost like this is a prose poem (which it isn't) and he has weird breaks in the lines (frequently mid line), it's almost like he's reading one line at a time from a sheet and breaks before the next like regardless of the actual punctuation. The constant rhythmic reading almost lulls me to sleep. It makes the already archaic prose seem even more ancient. In the end, this is just a bad reading (for me at least).
Glad I gave this a second chance with the Simon Vance version, I'm about 1/2 done and loving it this time. Make sure you listen to the full 5 minute sample before buying this version, the reading isn't obvious at first but give it time.

Horrible translation, badly read
This was a big gap in my knowledge and I know people who have loved the book, but this pointlessly archaic language of the translation and strangely uninflected rapid fire delivery made it almost unbearable.
