THIS BOOK with a straight-forward title caught my eye right away when I saw it in our church's little book corner weeks ago. Because, you know, if you put together St. Augustine + his answers to questions + in a Q&A format that's readable and + the questions are of the classics such as "How do I know God hears my prayers?" or "Why must I ask for things God already knows I need?" etc., you can bet this is going to be a keeper.
So far after a month of on and off reading (jumping from one book to another), I'm at around #63, some Q&A are not as breezy reading as I thought it would be and may require some repeat reading to comprehensively get the rich theology and philosophy of this old man. Especially when you are no theologian or philosopher and most especially to be reading the works of, many considered, the Grand Daddy of theology, the Theologian of theologians (alongside St. Thomas Aquinas). Yet knowing who St. Augustine a bit and being a tiny bit familiar with his style, really helps. You can get a copy at Amazon by clicking on any images of the book.Hope you'll like it too.
