'A canticle to God, and full of psychological insights that might
have been written yesterday, the Confessions are the story of a
soul, and also the story of God, and how he is constantly at work
seeking us.' Confessions is perhaps the most important spiritual
autobiography of all: it chronicles Saint Augustine's wild,
dissonant youth and subsequent conversion to Christianity, as well
as providing significant divine and philosophical insight.
Bestselling author, Fr Benignus O'Rourke OSA, provides a new and
luminescent translation of Confessions, his beautiful and eloquent
prose shedding new light on the various shades of meaning in Saint
Augustine's meditations and stories. Each book is prefaced with an
introduction providing further accessibility and depth of
understanding to this seminal work. Fr Benignus O'Rourke O.S.A is
an Augustinian friar and a member of the community at Clare Priory,
Suffolk, and the bestselling author of Finding Your Hidden Treasure
(DLT, 2010).
The most important journey in life is the journey inwards, to the
depths of our own being. It is a journey we are all invited to
make. It takes us beyond words and images into silence. The silence
allows the restless mind to become still and in the stillness we
enter a new world. We return to our hearts. Here we find our true
selves. We discover an ancient way of finding God that has almost
become lost. Slowly, we realise that we are in union with the
source of life and love itself. Our whole life changes. Our goal
now is to take God's love to others in our everyday lives.
Finding Your Hidden Treasure by Benignus O'Rourke is a
contemplative path inwards, to the depths of your own being.
Through silent prayer and meditation, and by discovering this
ancient way of finding God, O'Rourke provides insight and guidance
for your spiritual journey. He then outlines a practical approach,
moving from silence to action, and explains how to take God's love
to others in everyday life.
