The Imitation of Christ
by Thomas A Kempis

Synopsis
In Thomas a Kempis' eyes, the secret of all excellence was humility, both towards God and other humans, and this principle forms the main theme of this book. A practical book which faces the temptations and difficulties of daily life but also describes the joys found on the way.

Review
This book is a thought-provoking exploration on man's relationship with God. It offers no simple answers, but is a meditation upon the path we must tread if we wish to achieve spiritual fulfilment in the world via the life and guidance of Jesus' teachings. Written a number of centuries ago it still has much relevance for any wishing to truly live in Christ, but be warned this is not a quick-fix guide.
