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, OSA, PhD, 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 published by Liturgical Press.

reviewed Day by Day with Saint Augustine on September 19, 2009 Day by Day with Saint Augustine
This is a case where the format may make the difference in my ability to appreciate a book. I generally like Andrew Greeley as an author, albeit only being familiar with his fiction and not having read his nonfiction, but after getting just a short ways into this, I am abandoning it as the narrator did not work for me in the audiobook version. Dick Hill reminded me of an inexperienced preacher that endeavors to throw emphasis into every other word to the extent that that speech style began to draw and predominate in my attention, utterly distracting from content. The high accentuation of pitch rise and fall felt unnatural to the material and I began to feel irritated rather than engaged. I may try to find the paper version of this book to read, but the audiobook is a no for me.
