“‘You lying son of a mangy jackal!’ said Augustine, shaking with fury. He threw the three nutshells in Alypius’ face. His large, dark eyes were smoldering, and his mouth was a thin red line.”
If a vain, worldly young man like Augustine can become one of the greatest saints in the Church, then there might be hope for the rest of us as well.
This is the message of Louis de Wohl’s relatable and engaging novel The Restless FLame, now on FORMED. Available just in time for the anniversary of St. Augustine’s birthday on November 13, this compelling new e-book draws readers into the journey of conversion that took Augustine of Hippo from restless youth to one of the greatest saints in the history of the Church. Author Louis de Wohl is legendary for his ability to bring the stories of the saints to life in a refreshing, dramatic way, and The Restless Flame is no exception.
In de Wohl’s novel, Augustine is relatable and his conversion is inspiring. A great resource for the New Evangelization, The Restless Flame will convince its readers – friends, families, neighbors, and fellow parishioners – that sainthood is within reach for us all.
