Written by Thomas à Kempis in
the Middle Ages, The Imitation of Christ
has been revered for nearly six centuries
as a spiritual classic.
It is, after the Bible, the most
widely read and translated book
in the world.
It has shaped the spirituality of such
great saints as Ignatius of Loyola
and Thérèse of Lisieux.
St. Thomas More, the
Renaissance scholar and martyr,
considered this devotional one of
the most important books for a
Christian to own.
Now comes a beautiful new
illuminated edition for
today’s readers.
With lovely detail work, famous icons
depicting the life of Christ, and a handsome
leather slipcase, The Imitation of Christ is
a physical treasure full of spiritual riches.
In the clear, unburdened prose of
Bishop Challoner’s English translation, this
book’s stunning insights into the spiritual
life sound a compelling call to give
one’s whole life to Christ.
This call, far from a lofty ideal
reserved for the holiest of nuns and
hermits, in fact echoes at the very
heart of every Christian life.
Each of us must abandon the
ways of the world to follow the
way of the Cross.
The Imitation of Christ offers a
complete education in this interior
transformation from worldliness
to godliness.
With the help of these profound
meditations, enter the mystery of
the Trinity and embrace the joys of
a richly authentic life in Christ.
