Summary:
This is not a book about
Saint
Augustine
. In a way, it's a book
Augustine
has written about each of us. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith has spent time on the
road
with
Augustine
, and he invites us to take this journey too, for this ancient African thinker knows far more about us than we might expect. Following Smith's successful You Are What You Love, this book shows how
Augustine
can be a pilgrim guide to a
spirituality
that meets the complicated world we live in.
Augustine
, says Smith, is the patron
saint
of
restless
hearts--a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits.
Augustine
spent a lifetime searching for his heart's true home and he can help us find our way. "What makes
Augustine
a guide worth considering," says Smith, "is that he knows where home is, where rest can be found, what peace feels like, even if it is sometimes ephemeral and elusive along the way." Addressing believers and skeptics alike, this book shows how
Augustine
's timeless wisdom speaks to the worries and struggles of contemporary life, covering topics such as ambition, sex, friendship, freedom, parenthood, and death. As Smith vividly and colorfully brings
Augustine
to life for 21st-century readers, he also offers a fresh articulation of Christianity that speaks to our deepest hungers, fears, and hopes.
