"Confessions" is the name of a series of thirteen autobiographical books by St. Augustine of Hippo written between AD 397 and AD 398. In modern times, the books are usually published as a single volume known as "The Confessions of St. Augustine" in order to distinguish the book from other books with similar titles such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau's "Confessions". The book tells about his sinful youth and how he converted to Christianity. Wikipedia
