Bücher von Donald X. Burt

Father Burt offers a rare reflection on the seven steps in Augustine's journey towards the vision of God and suggests that they are also the stages we must go through in order to finally " see" the God of love for ourselves.

Features meditations for each day of the year. Each one consists of a short quote from Augustine followed by a reflection by Fr Burt. This work covers the daily experiences we all have such as living a life of hope, falling in love, facing death, and dealing with difficult people.

Reflections on a Dying Life is an eminently accessible and deeply pastoral book of Christian eschatology. Father Burt uses his masterful knowledge of St. Augustine's writings to create a classically Catholic spirituality of aging. Integrating a deep faith with his disciplined reason, he gently, lovingly sculpts an Augustinian spirituality of death and resurrection. Every page brims with the humor and pathos, with the irony and insight that distinguish all of Burt's writings as precious resources for contemporary believers and thinkers. --Joseph T. Kelley, Merrimack College
