Books Home And Bring: Pupils were introduced to the scheme on the days before the meeting. Books were made available at once and selection was invited, so that as soon as the parents were told, every pupil could bring home a chosen book. Had a weekend intervened without a start being made, some interest would have waned.
Generally, children willingly take books home and bring them back to school. Teachers report that what concerns children most is that their parents do not always manage to hear them read. In isolated cases, parents fail to hear children read at all, and this can lead to problems for a child which need sensitive handling by the teacher (see chapter 5). Far more often teachers report discussions between themselves and children which revolve around their home reading, often prompted by the child's own excitement:
Of the 22 books of The City of God, the first 10 answer the pagan accusation by showing that neither demons nor gods bring happiness here or hereafter, and that vices within the empire rather than Christianity brought Rome's collapse. The last 12 books show Augustine as the father of "philosophies of history," as he gives a religious interpretation of human history in the light of Biblical revelation. In these books he traces the origin, development, and destiny of the City of God and of "Babylon," city of conflict and confusion, from the fall of Adam to the end of time. Book 19 contains a theology of peace; books 20—22 provide a Christian eschatology.
