The City That Cannot Fall

He Wept Over His Wasted Years — And Gave the Church a Gift That Has Never Stopped Giving You already know the line: "Our heart is restless until it rests in Thee." But do you know the man who wrote it — the brilliant, broken, searching man who spent decades running from the very God he could not escape? Augustine of Hippo is one of the most quoted figures in the history of Christianity, yet he remains, for many believers, little more than a name on a shelf. The City That Cannot Fall changes that.

It arrives at a sustaining discovery: this fifth-century bishop from North Africa is not a historical relic to be admired from a distance. He is a companion for the interior life — for the restless hours, the seasons of doubt, the long slow return to faith.
