Editorial Augustinus, an imprint of the Augustinian Recollects, has strengthened its presence in the digital realm through Kindle, offering a catalog of 21 titles that bring Augustinian Recollect spirituality and charism to readers around the world.
A digital window for the Augustinian Recollect charism
In recent years, Editorial Augustinus, an imprint of the Augustinian Recollects, has taken a decisive step towards the digital sphere, finding in Amazon Kindle a privileged channel to disseminate its publications. This commitment responds to the desire to bring its contents closer to a wider public and to facilitate an agile and global distribution, faithful to the evangelizing mission of the Order.
An Augustinian Recollect proposal
Currently, the Kindle presence totals around 21 titles, organized in two main collections:
-
Our Augustinian Saints (10 titles): an informative series with brief and accessible biographies of saints linked to Augustinian spirituality, such as St. Monica, St. John of Sahagún, St. Rita of Cascia and St. Thomas of Villanova.
-
Burning Lamps (10 titles): rescues the memory of contemporary figures of the Augustinian Recollect family -religious, missionaries and lay people- such as Msgr. Alfonso Gallegos, Cleusa Carolina Rody Coelho or Friar Andrés de San Nicolás, combining historical rigor and close narrative.
Theme and style
The offer is characterized by brief hagiography, practical spirituality and accessibility. With volumes of between 20 and 60 pages, in Spanish and with clear language, these books become effective tools for personal reflection and pastoral work.
Integration into the Order’s digital strategy
The presence on Kindle is part of a broader communication strategy. The official website of the Augustinian Recollects links to the titles in eBook, promoting their visibility and allowing any reader, upon finding a work, to discover the rest of the collection.
Impact and future
Although the catalog is still modest, its thematic focus and the global projection of Kindle lay the foundations for its expansion. The next steps are aimed at broadening the offer, diversifying the subject matter – including biblical, catechetical and pastoral training – and translating into other languages to reach more readers.
The Augustinus Publishing House thus reaffirms its commitment to evangelization and the spread of the Augustinian Recollect charism also in the digital continent.
