The Confessions of St. Augustine is one of the most moving diaries ever recorded of a man's journey to the fountain of God's grace.

In an age of pastoral abuse, scandal, and failure, many pastors feel pressured to appear sinless. They are tempted to conceal their sin rather than risk vulnerability or disqualification from ministry. But concealing sin is spiritually dangerous, for both the pastor and the church.
