Agustin's Confessions

In book ten of the confessions, augustine asks oso, why and why i've been confessing to god. He says explicitly that he confesses in the first instance, for his own sake. And so it's helpful to read it prior to the confesson. I mean, sorry to thea, a city of god. But on writing the confessions and seeing how god actual helped him without his knowing, it encourages augustin to go on. And he thinks his story can encourage others.
