Summary of Saint Augustine & Henry Chadwick's St. Augustine Confessions - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 To praise you is the desire of man, a little piece of your creation. Yet, to praise you is the desire of man because you have made us for yourself and our heart is restless until it rests in you. #2 I ask who I am. I am God who is Lord. I am most high, utterly good, utterly powerful, most omnipotent, most merciful and just.
I am deeply hidden yet most intimately present. I am the perfection of both beauty and strength, and I am always active, always in repose. #3 I do not know where I came from, and I do not remember how I lived before I was born. I was welcomed by the consolations of human milk, and I did not wish for more than they were giving me. #4 I was like an infant, crying and throwing my limbs about. I was not understood, and when I did not get my way, I was angry with my seniors for their disobedience and with free people who were not slaves to my interests.
