 You have made us for Yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Augustine of Hippo, a bishop in North Africa in the 4th century, was one of Christianity's most influential thinkers. A brilliant theologian and prolific writer, his longing for God was restless and relentless. Chronicling his spiritual journey in the CONFESSIONS, Augustine is forever pushing the boundaries of self-knowledge in order to understand himself in relation to God. His pilgrimage holds meaning today for anyone searching for the point where God and self meet.
