Synopsis:

In this installment of the Liguori Wisdom Series, Sister Agnes Cunningham brings Christians closer to Jesus with excerpts from the writings of St Augustine. Each writing is paired with a Scripture quotation, reflection, a prayer and a spiritual activity for the day. St Augustine is one of the most influential Fathers of the Church and in his search for truth, St Augustine's writings and ponderings tells a wonderful story of conversion, reminding us of our own daily conversions.
