"The Confessions", one of the most important and influential works in Western literature and Christian theology, is a series of books written in the form of a personal prayer to God. Saint Augustine of Hippo recounts his life and his spiritual journey, tracing his path from a wayward youth to a devout Christian. Augustine's thoughts on sin, grace, and the human condition have shaped Christian thinking for centuries, remaining a timeless work that provides insight into the inner workings of the human soul, the process of spiritual conversion, and the relationship between humanity and the divine. This new Easy to Read Layout edition includes as an added bonus "The Life of St. Austin, or Augustine, Doctor" from the Caxton translation of the Golden Legend.

In my observation of the lives of believers, and in my personal experience, I have been very deeply impressed with one thought. It is, that our prayer for the mighty working of the Holy Spirit through us and around us can only be powerfully answered as His indwelling in every believer is more clearly acknowledged and lived out. We have the Holy Spirit within us: only he who is faithful in the lesser will receive the greater. 'As we first yield ourselves to be led by the Spirit, to confess His presence in us; as believers rise to realize and accept His guidance in all their daily life; will our God be willing to entrust to us larger measures of His mighty workings. If we give ourselves entirely into His power, as our life, ruling within us, He will give Himself to us in taking a more complete possession, to work through us.This Premium Edition comes with an Easy to Read Layout making reading comfortable.

Written by George Hodges, an American Episcopal priest, and first published in 1905, "Saints and Heroes to the End of the Middle Ages" has since become a classic work in the field of Christian literature and hagiography (the study of saints). In the book, Hodges provides biographical sketches and inspirational narratives of a wide range of Christian figures, including both well-known saints (Chrysostom, Augustine or Saint Bernard) and lesser-known individuals who have made significant impacts on the Christian tradition. The author explores their lives and stories, highlighting their virtues, sacrifices, and contributions to the faith.This new edition is illustrated with classic paintings and comes with an Easy to Read Layout making reading comfortable.

To speak of the merits of this work seems superfluous. It abounds in noble and sublime thoughts, heroic sentiments of love, praise, and gratitude to God, and is full of the most practical lessons of humility, obedience, poverty, and self-denial; &c. Her explanation of the Lord's Prayer is very admirable. The three first chapters are particularly interesting and valuable, as she there mentions the motives by which she was especially induced to compose the work. The style is everywhere simple and pure, yet always rich in illustrations. The interior life of the Saint is drawn to the very letter, in words which really seem to have been inspired. All the hidden secrets of "mental prayer," are communicated to us, in which the soul buries herself, and is consumed with burning transports of love; and though we are unable to understand all that the Saint says on this sublime subject, yet we cannot but rise up from the perusal of her words, better men than we were before, more determined to aim at perfection, and to implore the divine assistance and that of our glorious Saint for so important an object.
