Monica's Tears: The Prayer That Saved Augustine of Hippo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184412481)

What does a mother do when her son is destroying himself - and will not listen?
She prays. And she does not stop.
Monica's Tears is the breathtaking story of one of history's most extraordinary relationships - a mother whose faith refused to fail, and a son whose brilliance could not fill the emptiness inside him. Set against the vivid backdrop of 4th-century North Africa and the glittering cities of the Roman Empire, this deeply moving novella follows Augustine of Hippo from his restless, reckless youth through his decades of wandering - and Monica, who knelt in the dark for thirty-two years, trusting a God she could not always see.
This is a story about the power of a prayer that refuses to give up. About tears that are never wasted. About how far a soul can run - and how faithfully it can be found.
"It is not possible that the son of these tears should perish."
If you have ever prayed for someone you love and wondered if God is listening - this book was written for you.
