" WHOSE HEART ISN’T prodigal? One of the gifts Augustine offers is a spirituality for realists. Conversion is not a “solution.” Conversion is not a magical transport home, some kind of Floo powder to heaven. Conversion doesn’t pluck you off the road; it just changes how you travel. "

― James K.A. Smith , On the Road with Saint Augustine: A Real-World Spirituality for Restless Hearts
