Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo (FULL Audio Book) book 1 

In 1997, when I was 15 years old and passing through those turbulent teenage years, my mom -inspired by God - wrote a Saint Augustine quote on a piece of paper and hung it on the fridge. When I just read that phrase (the Wolf, when flattering, hates; the pigeon, when arguing, loves) I thought: "Oh! This is so true!". It was a strong experience with the Truth. After that moment I was curious to know who Saint Augustine was. I looked for more information on an Encyclopedia and eventually came to know he had written a book called Confessions. One day, when I was in my grandma's house I saw this book on her bed. I immediately thought: "Wow, this book is here for me!" It was my "tolle et lege" moment. While reading this INCREDIBLE book God had brought me closer to Him. Since then my spiritual life flourished and now married and mother of 4 children I am a Pro Life and Family activist. How I am thankful to this man!!!! Saint Augustine, pray for us.

Amazing words of divine Wisdom. Plenty of Thanks to AC Outler and the one who made it through RU-vid. God Bless

Amazing reading of this powerful text.

I am also grateful for your work in uploading this great book. God Bless

I subscribed immediatley, it is a great service to mankind to make these works available. Whether one agrees with the bibles historical account or not, believes in the miracles or and of the other hot debate topics between atheist and christian you can not dispute the fact that the bible and more specifically the Gospels and story of Jesus Christ provide a perfect template for living and conduct in the world. I think one of the great sins of the church is burying us in semantics rather than focusing on the true message as Jesus passed it down to us.

This book is far more engaging than I thought it would be. The only reason I listened to it is that I wanted to read the divine comedy, and I had to read this in order to understand some of the context. I'm glad I did, it is truly fascinating!

Thank you st Augustine, pray for us,and say Hi and Love to our Lord and God

THESE WORDS LEAVE Me in Peace YET IN AWE

Recorded by Mark Barnes. (My favorite!)

Deep thanks for uploading this. You are "good" people.

It is great to have this freely available! However, the audio sounds as if it was spoken through a cardboard tube. Perhaps something might be done minimize this in the future, (e.g., finding another location in which to record which echoes less, invest in some sound dampeners for the room in which you record, or upgrade your recording equipment).

THANKYOU-KEEP-THECLASSICSFREE.-SAINTAUGUSTINE-CONFESSIONS

Funny how some in previous comments found his voice a distraction. I really like his voice and find it to be an enhancement

The audio is fine, on my system.

What.....? I for one need time to ponder, examine and absorb each sentence individually.

why is this monetized if it is a Librivox recording?

What a powerful book! On a side note, can anyone identify the narrator's accent?

where does it start "belatedly I loved thee..." Thank you

it jumps at 45:35

Áve María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus. Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus, nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Ámen.

awesome still utterly relevant for today's seeker of truth adventure life...GOD questions which St Augustine pose in the first three chapters are wonderful childlike & the kind of use of the mind Our Glorious Father desires I'm involved and emotrional oh plus rich beyound understanding 2 an ego lead slave man! Weep for your Children Our Glorious Jesus said for the women as he past with the CROSS

Strange to hear a northern English accent speaking on Catholic things. Its been too long since England broke from the true church.... I love to hear it :)

Mi late grand mother use to say Idolatry is the root of all ignorace and evil worshiping of people dead or alive is abomination to the living GOD.
