5.0 out of 5 stars Vain youth transformed into Doctor of the Church, August 10, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Restless Flame (Paperback)
As a home educator, I read this book with the intention of screening it for my teen for a school assignment. In no time at all, I found myself unable to put the book down. I read it in just three nights - quite an accomplishment for a mother of five. Louis de Wohl presents the life of Augustine in novel form and makes it very interesting. The reader participates in Augustine's transformation from pagan to Christian. I can't wait to share it with my teen, I think that he will like it as much I did. (note: Before his conversion, Augustine and his friends speak very poorly of women. If sharing this book with a teen, use the opportunity to discuss Augustine's error in treating women as inferior, having a child out of wedlock, etc.) I am glad that there are books such as this one available that make learning history exciting.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Restless Flame, a well written Catholic novel., December 3, 2002
By 
David Babson (Syracuse, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Restless Flame (Paperback)
Louis De Wohl does an excellent job telling the story of the life of Saint Augustine. This novel is a wonderful book for any reader and if you are a catholic looking for an introduction to Saint Augustine you should read this book. The novel shows us the errors of Saint Augustine's youth and how he became one of the great doctors of the church. We can relate many of the issues Saint Augustine dealt with to issues we all deal with in the world today. I believe the strength of this novel is how well the author shows us how Augustine felt about his life and why he made the decisions he did. I would recommend this book to any catholic man and to anyone who would like to know more about Saint Augustine.
You will not want to put this novel down or want it to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, June 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Restless Flame (Paperback)
If you're looking for a fast-paced book to get you excited about your Faith, look no further. I read this book as a freshman in high school and it knocked my socks off. I went on to devour several other DeWohl books. I kept having to remind myself, "this guy really lived - these things really happened" because it was so amazing. It is truly inspiring, well-written, and beautifully illustrates the life of Augustine. I continue to give this book as gifts for young people making their confirmation or needing a lift in their Faith.
