He came to realize that all of us follow more or less the same path of discovery, a path that begins in darkness and moves toward wisdom. Although few achieve the perfection of wisdom, we can be certain that we are showing our love for God by reaching out in love to our fellow human beings. In \"Let Me Know You\" Father Burt offers a rare reflection on the seven steps in Augustine's journey towards the vision of God and suggests that they are also the stages we must go through in order to finally \"see\" the God of love for ourselves.  Chapters are \"Darkness,\" \"Pious Listening,\" \"Knowledge: The Path out of Darkness,\" \"Fortitude,\" \"Love,\" \"The Need for Purification,\" and \"Loving a Still Hidden God.\"  Donald X. Burt, OSA, PhD, (1929-2014) a professor emeritus of philosophy at Villanova University, published widely on the philosophy of St. Augustine. His books include \"Let Me Know Myself. . .,\" The Pilgrim God, and The River: Augustinian Reflections On a Flowing Life, published by Liturgical Press.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49651277693201,"sku":"GOR007609712","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368062980369,"sku":"CIN0814629571G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51332047831313,"sku":"CIN0814629571VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52138597220625,"sku":"NLS9780814629574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740293558545,"sku":"NIN9780814629574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814629571.jpg?v=1750849197"},{"product_id":"day-by-day-with-saint-augustine-book-donald-x-burt-osa-9780814615195","title":"Day by Day with Saint Augustine","description":"Before he was a famous saint, Augustine was a notorious sinner. He wandered from the faith and, after a dramatic spiritual transformation in his thirties, returned to become a bishop and theologian in the early church. The short, daily meditations in Day by Day with Saint Augustine are candid reflections on the challenges to living a life of faith from someone who experienced the pitfalls. His wisdom is timeless, his words are profound, and his message ever relevant.  Day by Day with Saint Augustine includes meditations for each day of the year. Each one consists of a short quote from Augustine followed by a reflection by Fr. Burt. They cover many of the daily experiences we all have such as living a life of hope, falling in love, facing death, and dealing with difficult people.  Donald X. Burt, OSA, PhD, (1929-2014) was a member of the Augustinian Order. A professor emeritus in philosophy at Villanova University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Father Burt wrote thirteen books and numerous articles on the thought of St. Augustine, including Let Me Know Myself . . ., Let Me Know You . . ., and Reflections on a Dying Life published by Liturgical Press.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49796202889489,"sku":"CIN0814615198G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49796507599121,"sku":"CIN0814615198VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49911632396561,"sku":"GOR005555808","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984543060241,"sku":"NIN9780814615195","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52597737324817,"sku":"NLS9780814615195","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814615198.jpg?v=1751201713"},{"product_id":"let-me-know-myself-book-donald-x-burt-osa-9780814628003","title":"Let Me Know Myself...","description":"Reflections on the Prayer of Augustine","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50215652557073,"sku":"CIN0814628001A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361572720913,"sku":"CIN0814628001G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008243073297,"sku":"NIN9780814628003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52537693208849,"sku":"NLS9780814628003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53462445130001,"sku":"GOR014933335","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53466936967441,"sku":"GOR009336000","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814628001.jpg?v=1751043771"},{"product_id":"river-book-donald-x-burt-9780814624777","title":"The River","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367846121745,"sku":"CIN0814624774G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53607492256017,"sku":"GOR008580075","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814624774.jpg?v=1750819167"},{"product_id":"friendship-and-society-book-donald-x-burt-9780802846822","title":"Friendship and Society","description":"What can I know? What can I hope for? What should I do? These are three perennial questions of life, and few thinkers have offered such penetrating answers as Augustine. FRIENDSHIP AND SOCIETY is a fascinating volume meant for those interested in what one of history's greatest minds had to say about life in an imperfect world. Bridging expert scholarship and a popular readership, this volume assumes no in-depth knowledge of philosophy or prior acquaintance with Augustine's writings. An introductory reflection on the human predicament is followed by a clear and accurate outline of Augustine's thought on such relevant topics as ethics, politics, society, history, the family, war and peace, crime and punishment, and church and state. Unifying the book is a powerful argument that friendship can be the tie that binds us all.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50590803427601,"sku":"CIN0802846823VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416384798993,"sku":"CIN0802846823G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52196216537361,"sku":"NLS9780802846822","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802846823.jpg?v=1750746056"},{"product_id":"reflections-on-a-dying-life-book-donald-x-burt-osa-9780814630174","title":"Reflections on a Dying Life","description":"Reflections on a Dying Life is a series of reflections based on two common themes in Saint Augustine's Spirituality. Donald Burt OSA, explores Augustine’s recurrent idea that as human beings we are living in an Inn for Travelers—a hospice for those who are still on the road—as well as the idea that every moment of our existence is a movement towards death, the moment when we must \"exit\" this hospice to the life waiting for us beyond the doors. These ideas are developed in three sections; Part One: \"Life in the Inn for Travelers,\" Part Two: \"Death: the Door to Life,\" and Part Three: \"Life After Death.\"  In hopes that his reflections on these ideas will assist himself and his readers to be happy, Fr. Burt focuses on the support the Christian faith provides for those in transit. The Christian faith assures us that whatever happens to us in this life, we will never be without the presence of a loving God who guaranteed through God's own death that we can have perfect happiness on the other side of the door of death, and who in the meantime has promised that God will stay with us, supporting us along the way.  A remarkable collection of essays that provides thoughtful rumination on our life now, our future death, and the life that awaits us thereafter, Reflections on a Dying Life is an excellent navigational tool for any thoughtful guest in this mostly pleasant Inn for Travelers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50984545485073,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984548696337,"sku":"NIN9780814630174","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51853786743057,"sku":"CIN0814630170G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52340878999825,"sku":"NLS9780814630174","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53383267942673,"sku":"CIN0814630170VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814630170.jpg?v=1751233749"},{"product_id":"but-when-you-are-older-book-donald-x-burt-9780814620304","title":"But When You are Older...","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52462796144913,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52462796407057,"sku":"CIN0814620302G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780814620304.jpg?v=1759531660"},{"product_id":"emmanuel-book-donald-x-burt-9780814617731","title":"Emmanuel","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53182741414161,"sku":"GOR004290782","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780814617731.jpg?v=1772270018"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-donald-x-burt.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
