The passage of time is a strange thing. You’re only slightly aware of changes to yourself taking place, but in other people it is more obvious, especially children or people you don’t see that often.

Review of Augustine: The Truth Seeker
12 JunDanika Cooley, of the website Thinking Kids, has kindly written a review of Augustine: The Truth Seeker, giving advice about how it would fit into a homeschooling curriculum. Specifically she identifies these subjects as ones where Augustine would fit in well:
- Ancient History
- The Early Church
- Manichean Beliefs
- The Donatists
- The Roman Empire
- The Fall of the Roman Empire
I don’t actually know Danika, so you can get an unbiased view of Augustine by reading her review. Or better still, form your own unbiased view by reading it yourself! It’s available from Christian bookshops and online (Amazon, Eden, TenofThose, Christian Focus website etc.).
