Book arrived with another book (a textbook) in the usual Amazon box, each laying side by side. It was left out in the rain for most of the day by the local carrier until I brought it inside. The entire box was soaked and ruined, tape fallen off and box literally gaping open, all of ...             The Imitation Of Christ2 reviews Thomas A. Kempis Filiquarian, 2007 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 Imitation of Christ: A Timeless Classic for Contemporary Readers14 reviews William C. Creasy Christian Classics, 2003 Timeless Reflections Thomas a Kempis lived in a world torn asunder by the Plague, political upheaval, and deep crisis in the Church-a world perhaps not so different from ours. Thomas chose to leave his embattled world for the monastery and devote his life to God. Escapism? Retreat? Hardly. Thomas shows us with great pain, passion, and eloquence how monastic life is the ultimate battle, that between the spirit ...             Play, Dreams and Imitation in Childhood Jean Piaget W. W.

This version puts the Imitation of Christ into the modern vernacular.             Imitation of Life4 reviews Fannie Hurst Duke University Press, 2004 LIMITATION OF LIFE... This is an oldie but a goodie, and although it may seem somewhat anachronistic, in fact, almost embarrassingly and offensively so, it is well worth reading. A best selling novel when it was first released in 1933, the reader should keep in mind that much of what is in the book would today be perceived as racist. The book is reflective of a paternalistic view of African-Americans that was ...             The Imitation of Christ (Dover Thrift Editions)7 reviews Thomas à Kempis Dover Publications, 2003 All Jesus This book changed me.

Kempis Baronius Press, 2006 Beauty in word and form I have several paperbacks of The Imitation of Christ. It is one of my favorite books to meditate on.

It is entertaining, wide-ranging across many cultural genres, and offers a coherent and stimulating account of American culture in the late 29th and early 20th centuries.
