\"08<\/p>\n

Popular author and philosopher Peter Kreeft delves into one of the most beloved Christian classics of all time–Augustine’s Confessions<\/em>. He collects key passages and offers incisive commentary, making Confessions<\/em> accessible to any reader who is both intellectually curious and spiritually hungry.<\/p>\n

The Confessions<\/em> is a dramatic personal narrative of a soul choosing between eternal life and death, an exploration of the timeless questions great minds have been asking for millennia, and a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God. I Burned for Your Peace<\/em> is not a scholarly work but an unpacking of the riches found in Augustine’s text. It is existential, personal, and devotional, as well as warm, witty, and thought-provoking. With Kreeft to guide them, readers of the Confessions<\/em> can overhear and understand the intimate conversation between a towering intellect and the God whose peace he at last humbly accepts.<\/p>\n

“A marvelous meditation on the heart, mind, and life of this great saint, who is himself a window on the heart, mind, and life of God.”
