The Imitation Of Christ Thomas a Kempis Translated by Rev. William
Benham ZHINGOORA BOOKS]
"Let it be our chief occupation to think upon the life of Jesus
Christ. " One of the best-loved texts of Christianity after the
Bible, this book has been influential since it was first written
more than five centuries ago, with people such as John Wesley and
John Newton profoundly touched by it at their conversions. Written
by a German monk, it is essentially a manual on the pursuit of
holiness and deep communion with God, with its key theme that the
study of Jesus is the Christian's highest ideal. With great
personal conviction, Kempis demonstrates the individual's reliance
on God and on the words of Christ, and the futility of life without
faith.
With over 100 million copies in circulation and widely considered
one of the greatest manuals of devotion in circulation today, The
Imitation of Christ is a writing of the German-Dutch school of
mysticism is second only to the Bible for religious instruction and
inspiration. This book has been described as "a great monument and
incentive to deep living." Originally intended for monastics and
ascetics, supreme emphasis is placed on Christ, the passive
qualities of Christianity are stressed, and warnings are given
against everyday temptations.
