Desire and Unity Book Study

Saint Augustine is not only one of the intellectual giants of the Christian West, but also one of its great spiritual masters. A man of desire and of friendship, he learned from Christ to purify everything in charity, to direct everything toward God, to unify everything in communion with him. After almost two millennia, the saint’s vigorous and expansive view of the human heart still speaks to Christians today.

Father Emmanuel-Marie Le Fébure du Bus walks readers through the world of Augustinian spirituality, giving an overview of the saint’s life and then unpacking his teachings on seven key points: happiness, love, prayer, Christ, the Church, community, and the kingdom of God. Each chapter gives prompts for meditation. Desire and Unity will help readers to discover Saint Augustine and, though him, to draw from the bottomless wells of God’s love.
