Praise Without Ceasing

Christian spirituality seeks to answer fundamental questions about our human existence--what is our purpose? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What is true happiness? St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is a spiritual teacher whose wisdom still speaks to us today. According to Augustine, the spiritual life is a journey of the human heart that leads us to our ultimate destiny--union with God. This book charts the course of an Augustinian spirituality by exploring his teachings on the nature of God, creation, Christ, and the church. It offers practical guidance on how to make progress on our journey as spiritual creatures by growing in virtue, participating in the sacraments, and offering works of mercy. For Augustine, the end of our spiritual journey is to join in the heavenly praise of God without ceasing.
