The Imitation of Christ
Thomas à Kempis and Thomas À Kempis
Read by David Barnes
The Imitation of Christ is widely considered one of the greatest manuals of devotion in Christianity. The life of Christ is presented as the highest study possible to a mortal, as Jesus’ teachings far excel all the teachings of the saints. The book gives counsel to read the scriptures, statements about the uses of adversity, advice for submission to authority, warnings against temptation and how to resist it, reflections about death and the judgment, meditations upon the oblation of Christ, and admonitions to flee the vanities of the world.

Imitation of Christ
JP
this book and the bible were the two books that the little flower saint Teresa said were her favorites and was exclusively studied by her then any other book. Truly a great work.
Awesome
Excellent, the real skinny on how to abide
A life changing book, unveils the carnally of many Christians and me most especially. If one truly desires to walk with God and strive for holiness then this book will prove indispensable

I have been reading this book on and off since I was young. It always helps clear my path when I'm lonely and challenged by depression. I am so grateful to have this book as a lifeline, it's meant the world to me.
