My Restless Heart Finds Rest in You by Edward Schallert is a reflective exploration inspired by St. Augustine's Confessions. Schallert, a retired professor and Cursillo participant, revisits the spiritual journey of Augustine, aligning his personal struggles with Augustine's reflections. Central to the book is the interplay between faith, reason, and the human inclination toward idolatry. Schallert discusses themes like idolatry of intellect, materialism, and worldly pursuits, using Augustine's experiences as a framework. He highlights how Augustine's journey-marked by intellectual pride, lust, and misplaced devotion-parallels contemporary struggles. Drawing on Augustine's insights, Schallert emphasizes the transformative power of grace and the necessity of reconciling faith with reason to attain spiritual growth. The author shares his own moments of spiritual transformation, particularly through the Cursillo experience, which reignited his engagement with Augustine's work. Schallert underscores the importance of surrendering to God's will, recognizing that true happiness lies in aligning oneself with divine purpose rather than worldly attachments. Using Augustine's meditations, Schallert offers daily reflections, encouraging readers to deepen their relationship with God through prayer, contemplation, and the embrace of grace. This book serves as both a personal testimony and a guide for others seeking spiritual renewal, emphasizing that human restlessness finds peace only in God.
