Saint Augustine's childhood: confessiones book one

---

Garry Wills translation of Augustine's Confessions came highly recommended to my husband. It was previously published as one book. A second edition was published and separated into 4 hardback books instead of 1 smaller type paperback by Penguin Books. Specifically, it was the second edition that was recommended to him because it was updated with some revisions. My husband began reading this first book of the series and immediately found it engaging and easy to read. I don't mean that it is watered down though. My husband's favorite authors are Wendell Berry, John Piper, and Eugene Peterson (spiritual theology series), all of which are not easy reads. I also read the first page and found it encouraging and easy to read. I do not read light fiction either, but I tend to prefer Jerry Bridges books to Piper's. I have always been intimidated by Augustine's Confessions, but I know I'd be able to read this translation and understand it..
