The Story of Monica and Her Son Augustine (331-387)

Dust jacket notes: "The names of Monica and Augustine are inseparable. We cannot think of the mother without thinking also of her son. He is the principal reason why she has been known to later generations. And without her, he would not have become the man whom history still acclaims. He was the first to declare that his mother Monica had had as much pain bringing him forth to the Christian Faith as when she bore him as an infant. She was not content to bring him into the world. She did not rest until she had given him to Christ and to His Church."
