No Christian, probably no writer, has ever been as eloquent as Saint Augustine. Few people have been as intellectually and theologically deep, or as deeply in love with God. No sections in Augustine's writings are more eloquent, more deep, or more saintly than his prayers, for prayer is the very life blood of virtue.
What better way to get to know a guy like St. Augustine's heart than to listen to him pray? We may learn about the saint's immense talent and profound understanding by reading his voluminous publications. However, we can see his relationship with God through his prayers.
Despite this, few compilations of his prayers have ever existed - an issue rectified in these pages by Sara McLaughlin, who painstakingly sorted through his works to unearth some of the most powerful prayers ever written.
This is a powerful book. Anyone who prays these prayers with their hearts will be changed with their hearts.
