Confessions
of St. Augustine
by St. Augustine, John Kenneth Ryan, St Augustine
Augustine's Confessions is arguably the first, and unequivocally the
most influential, religious autobiography in the Christian tradition. Augustine
(who was a hard-core hedonist before his sudden conversion) writes about
faith with the reckless abandon of a lover; his descriptions of friendship
are so beautiful they'll bring tears to your eyes; and his tributes to
his mother, Monica, cast eternally fresh light on the unofficial authority
of women in the early Church. --Michael Joseph Gross - Amazon.com

Vita
Brevis : A Letter to St Augustine
by Jostein Gaarder
Book Description: 'Years have passed and much has changed since
we two had our arms around each other. Thus what I write will perhaps be
equally a letter to the whole Christian church, for today you are a man
of great influence.'
In a second-hand bookshop in Buenos Aires, Jostein Gaarder makes an
exciting find: a transcript of a letter to St Augustine, author of the
famous Confessions, from Floria Aemilia, the woman he renounced for chastity.
Vita Brevis is both a classic love story, beautifully told, and a fascinating
insight into St Augustine's life and that of his discarded concubine. It
is up to the reader to determine its authenticity...
