Amazon.com Review:
The Thomas à Kempis fan club includes St. Ignatius, Thomas Merton, Thomas More, and even Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. (She reads a chapter of The Imitation of Christ every night before sleep.) Imitation has exerted immense influence on Christian worship, ethics, and church structure, because it gives specific yet broad-minded guidance about the central task of Christian life--learning to live like Jesus. Better to read this book a little here and there, now and then, than to try gobbling it cover to cover. Imitation is no triumph of orderly thinking, but it's a great monument and incentive to deep living. --Michael Joseph Gross
Product Description:
The secret of the amazing influence and converting power of this little book is the secret of the lives of all the Saints--their nearness to God, and the reflection of His love in their lives and writings. Thomas's theme is the love, mercy, and holiness of God: with vivid clarity he shows man's complete dependence on, and need for, God.

- A spirtitual goldmine
This is a centuries old classic that still has great relevance today.
I appreciate being able to purchase it so conveniently and so inexpensively as a "pre-read" book.

- This is Imitating Christ?
I found nothing at all about this book to be inspiring. The one sentence that speaks to this most, for me, is....
"It is better to lead a hidden life and care about one's salvation than to neglect it and work miracles. The religious who rarely goes out, avoids being seen and is unwilling to see others, is the one who is worthy of praise."
How is that Imitating Christ? Jesus didn't close himself off from people...he identified with everybody....especially sinners!

Book: The Imitation of Christ
Back cover it reads: 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 `a Kempis between 1420 and 1427, it contains clear instructions for renouncing worldly vanities and locating eternal truths. No book has more explicitly ...

- Every page is a spiritual treasure
This is a deeply powerful, moving book. Thomas paints a complete picture of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus in every major area of life. He writes concisely and profoundly, offering his thoughts simply and boldly. His style makes for easy reading, allowing this book to be accessible to younger readers. This book lends itself to a contempltaive style of reading--I often found myself meditating on a paragraph, sentence or even a phrase for several minutes before being able to continue. This book ...

- The treasure
Why claim trinkets when you can read one of the best devotionals on the market. I use it to keep my daily life in check, to remember to have the right focus and to live what I believe. This is the top of the charts for a "Christian" work. Brother A'Kempis was a great instructor and a wise disciple. So much of todays mediocre fluff is twisted by society, self centeredness and lazy Christianity where the thinking is done for those who don't see the value in meditation and self examination. Next to the Bible, ... Read More
