A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike. This classic of Christian devotional literature has brought clarity and comfort to millions for centuries. Both Protestants and Catholics as well as mystics and historians of religious thought have studied these meditations on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, finding in them a path to prayer and spiritual guidance.

Written in a candid and conversational style, The Imitation of Christ discusses liberation from worldly inclinations, recollection as a preparation for prayer, the consolations of prayer, and the place of eucharistic communion in a devout life.

About Author

Thomas a Kempis was born at Kempen, Germany, circa 1380. Seven years after joining the monastery of Mount St. Agnes in 1406, he received Holy Orders, and thereafter busied himself with prolific writing and copying work. His books include the well-known Imitation of Christ, Life of Geert Groote, and Life of Liduina of Schiedam, the latter of which he epitomized. He also possessed an earnest love for the poor and Holy Scripture. Thomas a Kempis died on the twenty-fifth of July, 1471.
