Summary: (http://www.discerninghearts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/mikeaquilina-for-web.jpg) The importance of his life and contribution to the Church cannot be overstated. St. Augustine, one of the greatest of the Church Fathers, has not only influenced the Church, but the thought of the world as we know it. The story of his conversion as chronicled in his "Confessions", would be (http://www.discerninghearts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/St.-Augustine-177x300.jpg)enough, but then add the body of his theological work and you have nothing less than a glimpse of what is truly the power of "grace and mercy". Mike Aquilina is one of the best at bringing this great saint's life into perspective.
