I was really worried about reading this book. From the cover I thought that it would be something I would not understand. I had no idea who St. Augustine was. This book got me interested in learning more about him and reading his books. It was a beginners glimpse into his journey from a pagan lifestyle to a Christian lifestyle. It was a quick read, but gave you enough to start your own journey. I definitely would recommend for anybody interested in past religion and also for homeschool parents and children. I could see showing the art work along with the story and going further into depth with each chapter. Great job!

A delightful, concise biography of St. Augustine. While it is geared towards the middle school crowd, it is a wonderful brush-up for adults on the details of St. Augustine's life and the impact he made not only on Christendom, but on the world at large.
