I first read Saint Augustine's Confessions while I was in pretrial detention. I knew of the book, I knew of St. Augustine, and I had nothing else to read. He impressed me enough that when in prison I found a copy of The Confessions translated by Garry Wills, I re-read the book. The book explains eternity and time as well as the man's coming to God. I did not have quite the reaction as Roosevelt Montas writes about here. (I have never taken to Augustine's theories on predestination and he had nothing with my joining the Orthodox Church as Orthodoxy does not accept predestination and has an ambiguous relationship with the saint.)
