The Christian life is both a challenge and a struggle, which can bring great peace to its followers. This book speaks about many of the challenges of this life and the struggle needed to meet them from the view of one who knew such a struggle firsthand: Augustine of Hippo. Augustine had to struggle both to find Christ and to hold on to him. Though his world was different from ours, it is remarkable how his reflections on the Christian life are relevant for our own time. His style is simple, human, and appealing as he encourages his fellow Christians--and us--to continue their daily struggle to deepen their knowledge and love for God.

As One Struggling Christian to Another: Augistines Christian Ideal for Today,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: As One Struggling Christian to Another: Augustine's Christian Ideal for Today (Paperback)
Haven't gotten around to in-depth study yet. I purchase a lot of books and just line them up to be read. I am retired and preach in the Texas prisons and Amazon is my source for some of my Bible related study. This is a good book, I can tell by a glance. I am looking forward to diggin in.
