"Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love, and the future to God’s providence."
Augustine

When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. 2 Timothy 4:13

What is This Blog About?
This blog is designed for my family. These are things I want them to read, see, hear and learn. A lot of the posts will be related to books or learning from others, as inspired by the apostle Paul and the following quote from Charles Spurgeon, commenting on 2 Timothy 4:13:
"He is inspired, and yet he wants books! He has been preaching at least for thirty years, and yet he wants books! He had seen the Lord, and yet he wants books! He had had a wider experience than most men, and yet he wants books!...He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains, proves that he has no brains of his own."
If you happen upon this blog and find it interesting then you are welcome to peruse at your leisure. If you happen upon this blog and find it silly, weird or "fill-in-the-blank" then remember...it wasn't designed for you. I do hope, however, that, for the most part, you come closer to what it means to be a Christian.

Please tell us who Augustine was, specifically.
If you click on his name in the original post you will find his biography. Briefly, he was an early theologian who lived from 354-430 in northern Africa. He wrote about original sin, predestination and salvation by grace. His most famous works are his "Confessions" and "The City of God". Both Prostestantism and Roman Catholicism owe much to him but both sides can't reconcile all his doctrine as there is much to disagree with whichever side you are on. He was foundational however in his thinking on many Christian doctrines.
