Description

Let it be our chief occupation to think upon the life of Jesus Christ.THE IMITATION OF CHRIST is one of the great classics on spiritual devotion. It has been influential since it was first written over five centuries ago, with people such as John Wesley and John Newton profoundly touched by it at their conversions. Written by a German monk, it is essentially a manual on the pursuit of holiness and deep communion with God, with its key theme that the study of Jesus is the Christian s highest ideal. This new edition includes an introduction by the translator and a new foreword by J. John.
