DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Popular author and philosopher Peter Kreeft delves into one of the most beloved Christian classics of all time--Augustine's Confessions. He collects key passages and offers incisive commentary, making Confessions accessible to any reader who is both intellectually curious and spiritually hungry. The Confessions 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 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 can overhear and understand the intimate conversation between a towering intellect and the God whose peace he at last humbly accepts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Praise for THE Seasons OF A Restless Heart "Debra Farrington has done a beautiful job of Christian interpretation by building a bridge between the ancient stories of the Exodus and our contemporary experiences of transition. She shares most eloquently what she has learned from others, and more importantly, what she has experienced personally. Her words will both enlighten and inspire." —John R. Claypool, Episcopal priest and author, The Hopeful Heart "Debra Farrington has always been a deeply practical, realistic, and honest writer whose work is companionable and full of stories. In The Seasons of a Restless Heart she is all these things and much, much more. In 'the time between ending and beginning,' Farrington finds the poetry as well as the agony of change; she allays our fears and charms our spirits back to faith, hope, and—yes—to charity." —Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The Divine Hours "In this daring and hopeful work Debra Farrington illumines how to live into the arduous task of transition so that 'we stand a better chance of being closer to God when we reach the end.' . . . {It is} an extended prayer for the journeys of all in transition. Reminding us that we are God's beloved, she offers footholds to guide us through the murky in-between times. This book is beautiful, hopeful, and caressing." —Anne E. Kitch, Canon for Christian Formation, Cathedral Church of the Nativity, and author, The Anglican Family Prayer Book "It's all here. The doubts, the hesitations, the fears, even the excitement that mark the small and large transitions of our lives. Farrington provids a helpful tool for readers as they learn to celebrate what was, live meaningfully through the uncertainties of the present, and move into a healthy and whole future." —Linda Post Bushkofsky, executive director, Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The figure of Augustine of Hippo looms large over the history of western Christianity: theologian, mystic, monk, philosopher, artist, bishop, ascetic, convert, polemicist, seeker. Augustine's distinctive spiritual vision has played and continues to play a profoundly formative role in both imagining and living the Christian life. For some his presence is celebrated, for others it is lamented - for few can it be a matter of indifference. Thomas Martin's concise survey of this vast, complicated and controversial terrain begins with Augustine and his own restless heart and then traces the legacy of this spiritual vision as it is taken up by other restless seekers through the centuries. Our Restless Heart is a concise but masterly introduction to the Augustinian tradition which will stimulate beginner and specialist alike. Book jacket.
