The English ... It is more
The English ... It is more like reading a literature book. SOme parts I understood some i dun and I wanted to finish reading this book asap.... but yet want to read it again cos it is so good. Dun understand what I am talking abt? Hahaha... St Augustine will stun u with more of his reflections
Hi Hil... haha....the book
Hi Hil... haha....the book still stay in my room (in case u want to borrow it..wahaha)..
Yeap...very classic writing to me... Take my longest time to read it..even until now still havent finished yet... =P.. I could stare and re-read one page more than normal duration I used to use to other books. Anyway, once can understand, most of the time I will be amazed by his self reflection. Beautiful self description and self examination. His struggle to find God in all knowledge he could find and as well try to get out from sins showed his humanity, just the same as us.. Yet, at the end he became so pure to God...."Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet" (pg.204)
Certain things that are beautiful sometimes need patience in order for us to understand and get the beauty out of it and to me, this book reflect this!
Love in Christ,
