On the Road with Saint Augustine: A Real-World Spirituality for Restless Hearts
James K. A. Smith
Brazos Press, 2019
240 pages
What’s going on when I feel restless? What do I want when I desire to feel free, or be noticed? What’s in my heart when I long to change the world, or hunger for intimacy? These are some of the questions James K. A. Smith attempts to answer through the timeless wisdom of Saint Augustine. Smith brings this African bishop to life for the modern reader, offering a fresh articulation of Christianity while addressing some of our deepest hungers, fears, and hopes.
