Day by Day with Saint Augustine - Donald X. Burt, O.S.A.
Before he was a famous saint, Augustine was a notorious sinner. He wandered from the faith and, after a dramatic spiritual transformation in his thirties, returned to become a bishop and theologian in the early church. The short, daily meditations in Day by Day with Saint Augustine are candid reflections on the challenges to living a life of faith from someone who experienced the pitfalls. His wisdom is timeless, his words are profound, and his message ever relevant. Day by Day with Saint Augustine includes meditations for each day of the year. Each one consists of a short quote from Augustine followed by a reflection by Fr. Burt. They cover many of the daily experiences we all have such as living a life of hope, falling in love, facing death, and dealing with difficult people.
Donald X. Burt, O.S.A., Ph.D. is a member of the Augustinian Order. A professor emeritus in philosophy at Villanova University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Father Burt has written thirteen books and numerous articles on the thought of St. Augustine, including Let Me Know Myself . . ., Let Me Know You . . ., and Reflections on a Dying Life.
Reviews
"Augustine and his commentator have shared their wisdom generously and readers will be grateful."
-Prairie Messenger
". . . A pattern of acknowledging human frailty while expressing encouragement and hope runs throughout Fr. Burts current work, making it a valuable resource to keep close at hand."
-Writing Works
"When speaking about his own theology and spirituality, Pope Benedict XVI calls St. Augustine my master. In Day by Day with St. Augustine Fr. Don Burt makes the theology and spirituality of the great bishop of Hippo available and accessible to all readers. With his judicious selection and compelling translations of texts from the vast corpus of Augustines writings, and by his masterful commentaries, one of todays leading Augustinian scholars invites us through the liturgical calendar to learn from the most influential of early Christian writers."
-Joseph T. Kelley, Merrimack College, North Andover, MA
"What is most amazing about St. Augustine is that much of what he wrote 1600 years ago still has a deep meaning for many people today. In this new book, Fr. Donald Burt has captured Augustines relevance for our times in a very unique way. This is a book that will uplift the human spirit and challenge us to look at our inmost being through the medium of a daily brief thought from Augustine himself and an equally brief comment by Fr. Burt. In this format a great variety of very meaningful human and spiritual themes are addressed. There is a section for each day of the year, and its just enough to jump start the day by deepening our longing for God and for growth in the spirit. "
-Theodore E. Tack, O.S.A., Cascia Hall School, Tulsa, Oklahoma
