"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.
