The Confessions of St. Augustine by St. Augustine whose Wikipedia entry I'm not going to link because if you're a person of deep religious commitment and don't already know who he is, you really need to be slapped upside the head with a Jesus-fish and do penance for such profound ignorance of your own faith, is free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Revell imprint, presumably in some sort of non-public-domain translation since it says "Modern English Version" on the cover.
Currently free @ B&N and Amazon UK, likely to drop in the main store, but only for a very short time. May or may not show up at Christian Book, since their employees may be taking a break for the holiday.
Disproportionately large filesize on the Kindle version, which may be a Topaz. Caveat 1-clicker.
ETA: now a repeat freebie, probably just for one day @
B&N (may also drop in the
UK),
Amazon UK (new ASIN, slated to drop in the
main store),
ChristianBook (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide). Also free this time around @
Kobo &
Google Play (both available to Canadians).
As per the comments downthread, this appears to be an abridged edition, in case you were wondering.
Description
Join the journey to find God's grace

Listen in as he worships God. If you are fighting changes in your life, struggling to know God more, or staggering around roadblocks in your faith, Augustine's confessions will stretch your mind and enrich your soul.
