The City That Cannot Fall
He Wept Over His Wasted Years, And Gave the Church a Gift That Has Never Stopped Giving You already know the line: "Our heart is restless until it rests in Thee." But do you know the man who wrote it, the brilliant, broken, searching man who spent decades running from the very God he could not escape? Augustine of Hippo is one of the most quoted figures in the history of Christianity, yet he remains, for many believers, little more than a name on a shelf.

The City That Cannot Fall changes that. This is the whole Augustine, the lover, the doubter, the theologian, the bishop, the saint, and his story turns out to be startlingly, uncomfortably close to your own. Written for Catholic, Anglican, and broadly Western Christian readers who hunger for more than doctrine, this book walks you through Augustine's remarkable life, his towering theology of grace and the two cities, and his astonishing influence across fifteen centuries of the Church. It arrives at a sustaining discovery: this fifth-century bishop from North Africa is not a historical relic to be admired from a distance. He is a companion for the interior life, for the restless hours, the seasons of doubt, the long slow return to faith.
