The Imitation of Christ

Description

Imagine a book almost as loved as the Bible in Christian circles, offering wisdom from beyond the centuries and a guide for those interested in turning their connection to God into something more significant than a full time job. This is precisely how The Imitation of Christ could be described, a book that provides ample accounts and examples of powerful and uplifting passages, and many pearls of wisdom that have uplifted, inspired and comforted readers for more than 5 centuries.

Written by a 15th century monk named Thomas a Kempis, the book was initially written to serve as aiding material for the monastery, however, as it continued to last through the ages, it started becoming increasingly more well-known, up until it reached its peak as the second most popular book after the Bible.

The book is essentially written in the form of a dialogue between Christ and one of his disciples, covering a wide range of subjects with the central focus of helping the disciple (and the readers) to live their lives more like Christ and look toward God for happiness and meaning, instead of focusing on outward things, such as possession, desires, longings and dreams.

Basically a kind of strict moral code for anyone who might consider themselves religious, The Imitation of Christ has left a lasting impression on every soul who has read it. Not only has it proven to provide invaluable lessons about how people in Thomas’ time could live their lives in accordance with Divine approval, but it also has many important and insightful ideas that can very much be applied to those who would want to follow the path of a spiritual seeker in this day and age.

You will undoubtedly be fascinated by this remarkable book, whether you are religious or not, as the sheer historic authenticity and captivating passages were written in a powerful, straightforward manner that almost anyone would find easy to follow.
