Acerca de esta escucha

This is not an audiobook about Saint Augustine. In a way, it's an audiobook Augustine has written about each of us. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith has spent time on the road with Augustine, and he invites us to take this journey, too, for this ancient African thinker knows far more about us than we might expect.

Following Smith's successful You Are What You Love, this audiobook shows how Augustine can be a pilgrim guide to a spirituality that meets the complicated world we live in. Augustine, says Smith, is the patron saint of restless hearts - a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits. Augustine spent a lifetime searching for his heart's true home and he can help us find our way. "What makes Augustine a guide worth considering," says Smith, "is that he knows where home is, where rest can be found, what peace feels like, even if it is sometimes ephemeral and elusive along the way." Addressing believers and skeptics alike, this audiobook shows how Augustine's timeless wisdom speaks to the worries and struggles of contemporary life, covering topics such as ambition, sex, friendship, freedom, parenthood, and death. As Smith vividly and colorfully brings Augustine to life for a 21st-century audience, he also offers a fresh articulation of Christianity that speaks to our deepest hungers, fears, and hopes.

I wanted to find out more about St. Augustine without actually reading any of his works.... (That's just me) So i chose this book based on reviews. Wow, I'm so glad I did. It's a book that you digest in small helpings and it changes the way you look at yourself and the world and a 4th century African bishop and your relationship with Christ and your need for friends in your life, aka the church. So glad I joined the author on this journey. And I love the narrator's British accent and mastery (whether right or wrong, they're convincing) of the pronunciation of all the different names and terms that Mr. Smith uses in this text. What keeps it from being "dusty" are constant references to finding St. Augustine's principles and counter-principles in modern day cultural references: movies, music, poetry, philosophy, etc. Highly recommended for seekers of truth.and humanity...

The true story of our modern souls: an ancient Saint has been there already! What a delight, and truth all the way.

Amazing

The narrator is technically good, but I had been expecting the author (who I have heard before) to read it. It to me a while to get used to the voice.

Recommended for anyone curious about St. Augustine

Jamie Smith once again leads us on a palpable, engaging, and richly rewarding journey of experiencing our world through the searching eyes and restless heart of St. Augustine.

A book for restless hearts

Loved how this author mixed in the struggles of Augustine and related them to our modern day struggles and questions about life. Why do we exist? What is our driving purpose. Augustine honestly grappled with those questions and his answers still ring true for us today. The narrator was excellent and kept the story engaging.

The same human struggles have always existed.

This was a treasure trove. St. Augustine has long been a favorite author of mine, and this book helped me to grasp why. Whether you have read Augustine or not, this book is well worth the time you’ll invest into it. The narrator is excellent, and the author’s prose is pleasant.

An Intimate Look at Ourselves with Augustine

The brief final chapter was particularly moving, perhaps in part because it provided the final resolve to each of the previous chapters. I will be revisiting the chapters on addiction and on fatherhood. Outstanding!

The final chapter is worth the price of...

This was a superb piece of philosophy that blends the questions of a Bishop from 1600 years ago that seem to be questions we are still asking today because they are part of the human experience and desires across the ages. Very good. Highly recommend!

Superb

I admit that Augustine had become passé for me. By JK Smith’s work completely changed that. The first few chapters were a bit slow, but after I hit a certain point...a certain sentence actually, the whole book, including the first 2 chapters completely opened up for me. Augustine, more than being a medieval systematician, is a cartographer of the heart. That sentence made me realize that I had totally misunderstood all of Augustine, even his work on the Trinity. It made reading Smith’s book on someone I had left behind years ago (except when I needed a quote) not just enjoyable but eye opening.

Renewed a passion for Augustine for me
