Augustine of Hippo (Christian Biographies for Young Readers)
“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"In this book,  Simonetta Carr introduces young readers to Augustine's life and  spiritual ministry. Readers will learn about the personal conflicts  Augustine faced as he discovered the high value of the Bible and the  truth. They will also experience the difficult days Augustine lived,  learning much from his disputes with false teachers, as well as the  turbulent times of the fall of the Roman Empire. This volume is  accurately illustrated and simply written to attract the reader's  attention to the interesting facts of St. Augustine's life. Written for  ages 7-12, it can capture the interest of the whole family."  (Associazione Storico Culturale Sant'Agostino, Italy - translated from  Italian).
