A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike. This classic of Christian devotional literature has brought clarity and comfort to millions for centuries. Both protestants and catholics as well as mystics and historians of religious thought have studied these meditations on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, finding in them a path to prayer and spiritual guidance.
Written in a candid and conversational style, The Imitation of Christ discusses liberation from worldly inclinations, recollection as a preparation for prayer, the consolations of prayer, and the place of eucharistic communion in a devout life.
