read the classics - the imitation of Christ

The Imitation of Christ is said to be the most influential spiritual works in Western Christendom other than the Bible itself. This fresh contemporary translation from the 15th Century Latin edition makes the timeless wisdom of this classic available to modern readers in easily understandable language, while retaining the austerity, simplicity and beauty of the original.

Meant to be read in small portions, the Imitation is truly a guide for discovering personal holiness. Although written from the perspective of a medieval monastic, The Imitation contains classic advice for every individual who wishes to develop and grow in faith and personal spirituality.
