Publisher's Description

▼▲

Writings that touch the pure-flaming heart of God...from the men and women who walked with Him through the ages...guiding into a deeper friendship with the "Father of Lights."How can I know God? How can I find His purpose for me, in all of life's tangled ways? How do I break through to Him in prayer, when my way seems blocked? These pressing questions, common to so many, sent Augustine on his own spiritual journey toward the heart of God. The secret joys he found along the way can be yours as you walk the trail he blazed in spirit.Among the best-loved of all Christian expositors, Augustine (354-430 A.D.) struggled to find the true path to God, amid heresy and threats of persecution and destruction. Yet in all his works there shines a heart set on one goal--to become a friend to God, and Him alone. His written words, treasured for centuries, are footprints to be followed to the kind of life that finds God. Ever present. Strong. Life-changing. And loving at all times.
