Augustine of Hippo: Lord, Make Me Pure, But Not Yet

Before Augustine became one of the greatest minds in Western history, he spent 13 years with a mistress whose name he never gave us, 9 years inside a religion that told him his sins were not his fault, and a decade circling the most honest prayer in human history. Lord, make me pure. But not yet. This is the story of the real Augustine, the ambition, the abandonment, the son he named Gift from God, the garden in Milan where everything finally broke open, and what his story still tells us about the distance between knowing the right thing and being able to do it. Halo or shadow? Both.
