Publisher's Summary

After the Bible, The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis is the favorite book of Catholics throughout the world and has been the spiritual guide of the saints since it first appeared in 1418. And of the English editions, none can equal this inspiring translation of Bishop Richard Challoner.

This book speaks to the soul of every true Christian, reminding him of the fleeting nature of earthly joy as opposed to the eternity of happiness with God. Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange asserted that the true mysticism of which it speaks is accessible to all, if they are willing to follow the way of humility, the cross, continual prayer, and docility to the Holy Ghost.

Now you will never be without the book that St. Thérèse of Lisieux loved and knew by heart.

Deep and solidly based in scriptures

The Imitation of Christ will challenge you to arrange your life according to Christ and to make Him your priority in Life out of the reciprocal love that you ought to have to the One that gave you so much.
