He wrestled with the question of truth and struggled with chastity. He even pleaded to God \"Grant me chastity...but please not yet\" (p 149; Book 7, 17). He was 31 when he converted. That being said, he did not do it alone. Saints become saints because they're friends with saints.","subreddit_name":"Catholicism","author":"DReich95"},{"body":"The Confessions of Satin Augustine is a good one to give him I think.
