Join Redeemer's Center for Faith & Work and award-winning author James K.A. Smith for a conversation on his new book On The Road with St. Augustine, and what contemporary people can learn from this ancient African thinker.

Following Smith’s successful You Are What You Love, Smith's new book shows how Augustine can be a pilgrim guide to a spirituality that meets the complicated world we live in. Augustine, says Smith, is the patron saint of restless hearts—a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits. Augustine spent a lifetime searching for his heart’s true home and he can help us find our way.

“What makes Augustine a guide worth considering,” says Smith, “is that he knows where home is, where rest can be found, what peace feels like, even if it is sometimes ephemeral and elusive along the way.”
