Soon after ending my prodigal it was suggested I read ‘The Confessions’.
Although I am an avid and fast reader, it took me two weeks to get through it. This was because - as a lot of (maybe most) men can relate to Augustine’s story - it hit me hard. Several times I experienced a kind of arrow in the heart reaction to what he described.

Recalling this still brings tears to my eyes.
