Second Only to The Bible
It is true that this book is second only to the Bible in terms of readership but also in inspiration. And it may seem that contemporary English versions (and they are available) would be more relevant and easier to read than this "old fashioned" way of speaking and writing, with the "thou"s and "thou wilt"s. But this way of writing is actually more conducive to capturing the original flavor of ...

The Imitiaton of Christ on tape
My current job involves a total of 1.5 hours of commuting each day, and I bought this audio version of the Imitation for that drive. It is one of the best audio books I've ever heard. The narration is pitch-perfect for the material and pleasing to the ear. I've read the Imitation before, but listening to someone else read it, brings out even more meaning. This is one of the greatest Christian ...

Instruction on how to know God.
To characterize this book as a "literary classic" ignores the fact that it was never intended to be read as great literature. Rather, it was written for the sole purpose of offering simple instruction to cloistered monks on how to know God, and as such, the spiritual wisdom contained here will surely cause any reader to pause in quiet contemplation of his or her own life in relation to God. "It ...

True Inspiration............
William Griffin's translation of this great classic is truly inspiring. It is filled with wit, soul, humor and insight into the choices we make in following the teachings of Jesus Christ. This should be required reading for all Christians and non-Christians alike. There are so many catch phrases that keep running through my head. I read this book daily for inpiration. Moreover, once the reader is ...

Imitate Christ by living a spiritual life
This wonderful book was written by the priest Thomas a Kempis in the 1400's and is very reminecient of the Apostle Paul's writings by encouraging readers to live a simple spiritual life. It recommends that peace is found in the heart of the humble and that in overcoming the ego you overcome the world. Joy is found in a quiet conscience and you are only happy when you have done what is right. This ...

The treasure
Why claim trinkets when you can read one of the best devotionals on the market. I use it to keep my daily life in check, to remember to have the right focus and to live what I believe. This is the top of the charts for a "Christian" work. Brother A'Kempis was a great instructor and a wise disciple. So much of todays mediocre fluff is twisted by society, self centeredness and lazy Christianity ...

All Jesus
This book changed me. It taught me to stay away from anything that will hinder my faith and to follow Jesus with all my heart and soul and mind. Even though I'm still in the process of reading it, it changes me every day. Thomas A Kempis is the most devoted person I have encountered and I pray that many more people will be changed by this inspirational book. It taught me to be all about Jesus ...

Beauty in word and form
I have several paperbacks of The Imitation of Christ. It is one of my favorite books to meditate on. I have always wished that I could find one that was in hard-back, as well as leather bond that was excellent in quality and priced reasonably. Baronus Press has done an incredible job with this publication. It is gift quality and something to treasure and hand down to a family member. If you ...

The Imitation of Christ
Thomas á Kempis

Wilder Publications, 2008

He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, saith the Lord. These are the words of Christ; and they teach us how far we must imitate His life and character, if we seek true illumination, and deliverance from all blindness of heart. Let it be our most earnest study, therefore, to dwell upon the life of Jesus Christ. His teaching surpasseth all teaching of holy men, and such as have His Spirit find therein the hidden manna. But there are many ...
