“He is most intimately present to the human heart, but the heart has strayed from him. Return to your heart, then, you wrongdoers, and hold fast to him who made you.” – St Augustine
St Augustine’s Confessions is the first autobiography in Western literature and a perennial classic of rhetoric, philosophy, and theology. It is also one man’s journey away from and back to God, finding himself along the way. And though Augustine’s sin and his desires for love, happiness, and peace are his own, in them we can recognise aspects of our own experience.
Return to the Heart: The Biblical Spirituality of St Augustine’s Confessions invites readers to follow in the footsteps of an enduring spiritual master. Bringing St Augustine’s wisdom to a new generation, Shane Owens reveals that it is only in the heart-to-heart encounter with God that we become whole and understand ourselves.
Return to the Heart gives convincing testimony from St Augustine to the reality that an ever-present God is at work in our lives to bring us to conversion – and to eternal life.
Please note that there is no parish discount on books from Emmaus Road Publishing.
