About the book

When an author is not only knowledgeable but also finds it enjoyable to write about a particular topic, it is immediately evident in the style, content and creation of the finished product. In this book Joseph Kelley shares with us the joy that exploring Augustinian Spirituality brings to his heart. From the beginning pages of this book, we are welcomed into the world of Saint Augustine of Hippo and introduced to the spirituality that emerged from his life and writings, and that has endured throughout the centuries…. Allow the themes to speak to your heart and you will be surprised by what they have to offer.

From the Foreword by Very Rev. Joseph L. Farrell, OSA Prior General, Order of Saint Augustine
