Augustine lived in North Africa in the last days of the Roman Empire. His journey took him from being a rebellious boy to being an outspoken denier of Christianity, and finally to becoming a man of God and a servant of God’s church.

P. De Zeeuw’s biography of Augustine follows him through his life in a book that is entertaining and enjoyable for children and adults alike. A warning—the introduction and conclusion of the book are markedly Protestant (anti-Catholic), but the main content of the book is ecumenical.
