The slow conversion of Augustine of Hippo
Augustine was desperate to love God more than his sins, but the answer was not willpower or self-determination. It was Jesus Christ.
Athanasius against the world
Athanasius stood against the world for the truth of Christ. May we have the same resolve when we are called to stand for the truth today.
