St Augustine Before Ethelbert 1860 Decorated Border

Release Date: June 15, 2009

St. Augustine was more than three centuries old when tourism awakened the sleepy Spanish village. Soon after Standard Oil partner Henry Flagler brought the railroad to town in the 1880s, well-heeled visitors began flocking to Flagler s luxury hotels as St. Augustine became known as the American Riviera. Tourists walked the quaint, narrow streets and visited the city gate, the old Spanish fort, the alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth, and the four houses all claiming to be the oldest in the country. Postcard History Series: St. Augustine in the Gilded Age depicts the oldest city in the United States from the beginning of the picture postcard era to 1914, when a fire destroyed several downtown blocks. The volume presents more than 200 images from the archives of the St. Augustine Historical Society and the author s personal collection.

The Spanish landed in Florida in 1513 and established St. Augustine in 1565, over four decades before the Virginia Company settled Jamestown and five decades before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Henry Flagler transformed the sleepy port into a winter resort for the aff luent, and the quaint college town still displays some of the nationÂ’s oldest and most beautiful architecture.

How can I pray better? How do I know God hears my prayers? How can I 'pray always, ' as Jesus commands? Why must I ask for things God already knows I need? Such were the questions that perplexed a young North African man, Augustine Aurelius (354-430), whose intense yearning for God led him into a profound and lifelong encounter with Christ in prayer. There Augustine found answers to these questions and to countless more answers not grounded in his own brilliance, but in prayer itself. In time, Augustine became a bishop and a Father of the Church, and has long been numbered among her saints. Yet of all the Church's saints, not one expresses the longing for God more beautifully, or explores the nature of prayer more helpfully, than St. Augustine. His words speak to us today as freshly as they did to his contemporaries. St. Augustine wrote many books, but never one devoted to prayer alone. Indeed, his teachings on prayer are scattered in many places. So from over 200 works, Fr. Cliff Ermatinger has gathered and translated Augustine's teachings on prayer, and now presents them here in a simple question-and-answer format. What emerges is nothing less than a rich new "catechism on prayer" by one of the Church s greatest saints.

St. Augustine on My Mind celebrates all that is unique about this coastal Florida city - its romantic architecture and sun-kissed beaches, its youthful exuberance and Southern charm. Featured in these pages are more than 160 colorful images by St. Augustine photographer Ken Laffal. They capture the people, landmarks, flora, and fauna that have been attracting visitors to this city for more than five hundred years. Augmenting the photos are the eloquent observations of people who have known and loved this place, including John James Audubon. William Cullen Bryant, and Henry James. Together, words and images comprise the perfect keepsake of this magical and memorable city.

Collected here are two hundred of the most memorable quotations from the pen of the incomparable St. Augustine. Each quotation appears in Latin and English in a new clear and rhetorically correct translation by Silvano Borruso. The topics are grouped in broad categories, such as order, God, human life, truth and wisdom, reward and punishment, the Church, scripture, and virtues, and the book contains a careful, detailed subject index and quotable-line index, which together will allow the reader to find any quote desired.
