Não se trata de um livro sobre Agostinho. De certa forma, é um livro que Agostinho escreveu sobre cada um de nós. Agostinho passou a vida buscando um lar para sua alma. Nessa trajetória, passou a conhecer como ninguém a natureza humana com seus medos e desejos, frustrações e esperanças. Um peregrino espiritual, ele se tornou também um guia para os corações inquietos, pois sentiu na pele a angústia e a incerteza da procura por respostas. Esse monge e filósofo fez as perguntas que todos querem fazer, e conheceu o sucesso e a frustração que vêm com a caminhada.

Then Moses gets a lucky break: the chance to volunteer as a camp counselor for a week and prove the incident at the bowling alley should be expunged from his record. And since a criminal record and enrollment at Duke are mutually exclusive, he’s determined. But tragedy seems to follow him wherever he goes.

The general population refers to them as "Odds", people who suffer from AOHD (Adult Onset Hyper-Development Disorder). Such people wake up one day to find that they're suddenly super-human. They can do things like leap tall buildings. Lift bulldozers over their heads. Read minds. Throw fireballs. Melt steel with a thought. Fly at supersonic speeds, and so on. And what happens?

The final issue of 2020...we all dealt with the trauma of the year in different ways. For creatives, they expressed themselves in words and images. Here are stories that deal with race and bias, with fear and death. How we deal with losing a loved one...and an unloved one. There is some laughter in the mix, as well as some tears. Poetry, reviews, interviews, and a graphic short come together with outstanding illustrations to make a bit of brilliance here in the darkest month of the darkest year many of us have ever experienced.
