Augustine lived in troubled times near the end of the Roman Empire. Barbarians fought with Romans, and Christianity struggled against the worship of the old gods, and new cults. There were plenty of thrills for ambitious young men who did not care about following God’s laws, and Augustine made sure that he had his fill – despite the upset and shame it would bring to his godly mother.
During all of his wanderings, through the Roman world and through philosophy, it seemed impossible that Augustine would ever return to the truth. But it was possible, and today the Christian church has the proof in Augustine’s life and writings that God can bring the greatest, most stubborn, sinner to himself.

“Karen’s style is one of easy loquacity which keeps the pages turning, reminiscent of Tom Petty’s song-writing adage ‘don’t bore us, get to the chorus’.” Paul Allan, Edinburgh
