THE IMITATION OF CHRIST

The Imitation of Christ has been one of the most read books, other than the Bible, since its introduction in the early 15th century. , Written or compiled by Thomas à, Kempis, it consists of four books containing spiritual instructions for faithful Christians.This present edition is based on a 1940 public domain English translation, with various updates and corrections. , It also places the order of the four books back into their original order, with the exposition on Holy Communion coming in book three, prior to the &ldquo,Internal Consolation of the Soul&rdquo, in book four. , This is due to the natural flow of the work as a whole, i.e. the internal consolation that a Christian receives about due to his participation in the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist. , An index has also been added to the back of the work for easier cross-referencing of themes and subjects._,
