About this product

Product Information

Only the Bible has been more influential as a source of Christian devotional reading than The Imitation of Christ . This meditation on the spiritual life has inspired readers from Thomas More and St. Ignatius Loyola to Thomas Merton and Pope John Paul I. Written by the Augustinian monk Thomas Kempis between 1420 and 1427, it contains clear instructions for renouncing wordly vanities and locating eternal truths. No book has more explicitly and movingly described the Christian ideal: "My son, to the degree that you can leave yourself behind, to that degree will you be able to enter into Me." With a new Preface by Sally Cunneen, author of In Search of Mary: The Woman and the Symbol . "God is our home but many of us have strayed from our native land. The venerable authors of these Spiritual Classics are expert guides--may we follow their directions home." --Archbishop Desmond Tutu

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

    Imitation of Christ

    A bit Nostic but very devoted with the intent to serve Christ. There are many parts where I got the impression the Author loved Jesus more than anything else in life. I was edified in those areas. Other parts seem to indicate that the Author was STILL trying to get saved and was not sure or confident of Christ saving him and sins forgiven. Other parts seem also to point to a attempt to win God's favor through personal suffering, works, human effort, etc. Maybe the Author didn't understand "The Gift of God is Eternal Life" or that Justification is by faith and therefore he could have his peace with God. But that was the time back then when life was severe, contemplative, dangerous, uncertain, and the Word of God was not readily available for personal use as it is today. Also, don't forget ...

    The Imitation of Christ in Four Books

    This book looks just as its comment - an used one but it does not reduce any fashion for meditation of Christ.
