Augustine of Hippo: A Life That Shaped the Church

In this engaging biography, young readers will discover Augustine’s early struggles, his search for truth, and how he came to treasure the Bible. They’ll follow him through the dramatic days of the late Roman Empire, when invaders threatened cities and false teachers challenged the church.

"Few figures in Western history are as important as Augustine. He is one of the early church fathers to whom the Reformers rightly looked as an inspiration for their theology and piety in many respects but he is more than that. He is an old and dear friend. Simonetta Carr has produced a clear, readable introduction to the life and work of this great Christian and our old friend."
—R. Scott Clark, Professor of Church History and Historical Theology at Westminster Seminary California
