The Imitation of Christ (Zipper protected) 978-0-89942-323-4 The Imitation of Christ, a deeply spiritual book by Thomas a Kempis, is the one book second only to the Bible in popularity among Catholics. Throughout this book, readers will find themselves experiencing the peace and wisdom that have comforted believers from all corners of the world. The pages of this consoling guide show readers how better to live the life of a Christian by closely following Christ's example. The Imitation of Christ will help to enable those seeking guidance in the midst of today's challenges to find encouragement to imitate Christ in many of life's situations.

Benefits of a small, pocket-sized book, tailored to its compact nature: Portability: Its lightweight, slim design slips easily into a pocket, purse, or bag, making it a constant companion for commutes, waiting rooms, or travel--perfect for a quick read, like a parable or prayer, anytime inspiration strikes. Convenience: The small size encourages spontaneous use. Whether it's a collection of Jesus' miracles or short reflections, you can flip it open with one hand during a coffee break, maximizing idle moments without needing a dedicated setup. Focus: Limited page space distills content to essentials--say, a single miracle or life lesson per chapter. This brevity sharpens attention, offering bite-sized wisdom that's easy to digest and ponder in a busy day. Discretion: Its unobtrusive size lets you read privately in public spaces, like a bus or park bench, without drawing attention.

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis, a 15th-century devotional classic, holds profound importance for its timeless call to spiritual depth and humility. Written for monks but embraced by laypeople, this concise yet potent work urges readers to emulate Jesus' life--his patience, self-denial, and love--over worldly pursuits. Its enduring relevance lies in its simplicity and universality, offering practical wisdom amid life's complexities. The book's core message is transformative: true peace comes from surrendering pride and aligning with Christ's example. Kempis writes, "Learn to despise outward things and to give yourself to inward things, and you will see the Kingdom of God come within you." This shift from ego to soul resonates across centuries, especially in today's materialistic culture, where distractions abound. Structured in short, meditative chapters, it invites daily reflection--perfect for a pocket-sized companion--guiding readers through trials like adversity or temptation with grace. Its influence spans denominations, shaping figures like Ignatius of Loyola and John Wesley, and its accessibility ensures anyone can grasp its Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"Our Lord's words "whoever wishes to be My follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day and follow in My steps." (Luke 9:23) were spoken for men and women of all times and localities. They are equally applicable to the young, to the middle aged and to the elderly. They are a challenge to modern man - so surrounded by the comforts and conveniences of modern inventions - who takes all these things for granted and, becoming immersed in the material, often forgets his eternal destiny. How often do we say, and hear others say: "O, if only I could have a little peace!" Perhaps our greatest hindrance to this peace we all desire so much is the constant urge to lift the veil and see what tomorrow will bring. We are surrounded by this attitude; our newscasts and our weather forecasts are all occupied with what is coming next. So we let today's moments slip by us almost unheeded. One of the lessons our Lord teaches His followers is that we are not promised tomorrow; indeed, we are not promised the whole of today: The Son of Man is coming at the time you least expect (Matt 24:44). Therefore, it is well for us to live our lives each day fully. You will say perhaps that your life is full, that you are on the go every minute. But we forget that we are made up of body and soul and all this hyper-activity leaves no time for the soul to breathe. As you thoughtfully and prayerfully read this little book, turn the pages slowly and allow the wisdom contained in them to penetrate your inner self. If you will do this, you will find a great peace - even amid the turmoil around you and the trials that necessarily come into every life. The Holy Spirit will bring you His peace and His joy that you will never find in any of the things which the world promises you, but which promises are never kept. It is the fervent hope of the publisher of this new edition of The Imitation of Christ that this treasured little book will become a daily reminder of and a spur to follow the life of Christ to which all men and women are called." - from the Foreword.
