Endorsements
“Simonetta Carr offers a sympathetic, whirlwind tour of the life, times, and beliefs of Augustine of Hippo, one of the most important and long-loved figures for Western Christianity. Maps, illustrations, timelines, and photos engage the imagination at a pace that will hold the interest of young readers.” – BRANDON AND MINDY WITHROW, authors of the popular church history series for children, History Lives
“A splendid way to introduce children-and adults too-to one of the most influential Christians who ever lived.” – PHILLIP S. CARY, Scholar in Residence at the Templeton Honors College at Eastern University, and author of several books on Augustine “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
