ChristianAudio.com is a wonderful web site for busy bookish types. It's based right here in San Diego and is run by Dave Bruno, an old friend of mine from mega church days (Emmanuel Faith Community Church, Escondido). One of the co-founders, Cory Vernor, attended Grace Episcopal Church in San Marcos with his family for a while until they figured out where the Episcopal Church was heading ('took 'em 'bout 10 minutes). They packed up the children and headed back to evangelical safe harbor a.s.a.p. A real loss for us, but we never blamed them of course.
Anyway, I digress...
Each month, ChristianAudio.com offers a free download to folks on their not-spammy-at-all mailing list. Some of the freebies are better than others. I think you'll agree this month's title, Augustine's Confessions, is a real winner. Augustine's conversational neoplatonism is the perfect thing for working out at the gym, forcing it on the family during your long road trip to somewhere fun, or blasting it from your boom box down at the beach this Sunday.

Saint Augustine's Confessions
Saint Augustine's contributions to Christian theology are second to no other post-apostolic author in the whole sweep of church history. Yet along side his doctrinal treatises, Augustine tells a story of his life devoted to Christ as his only satisfaction. The Confessions is at once the autobiographical account of Augustine's life of Christian faith and at the same time a compelling theology of Christian spirituality for everyone. Among the most important classics in Western literature, it continues to engage modern readers through Augustine's timeless illustrations and beautiful prose. Augustine's Confessions is a book to relish the first time through and then profoundly enjoy over a lifetime of revisiting.
