Both Protestants and Catholics -- as well as mystics and historians of religious thought -- have studied these meditations on the life and teachings of Jesus, finding in them a path to prayer and spiritual guidance. Written in a candid and conversational style, The Imitation of Chris t discusses liberation from worldly inclinations, recollection as a preparation for prayer, the consolations of prayer, and the place of eucharistic communion in a devout life. With its simple, readable text, this translation will appeal to new readers as well as to those already familiar with this religious classic.

Great content. Pages were falling out.

If I were to review just the words inside the book... 5 stars! The actual physical book itself... 1 star. The pages are falling out. Several pages are dog eared and breaking at the fold. The glued binding is just horrible. If this is considered an "acceptable" bookthen I'll likely not buy acceptable books in the future.

Interior spiritual growth for the courageous seeker

This book hit me hard in the preface and introductory. This book is for someone who wants a closer more personal relationship with God. If one is willing to apply these words then yes growth will occur. I am diligently taking notes and attempting to absorb various aspects of unhealthy self focus and immaturity. I think every serious student of Christinanity should have a copy of this in there library.

Packs a punch

As a person trying to grow everyday in Christian practice and thought, I found this book worth its weight in gold. It's easy to read (short segments) -- in fact, it's so easy you have to be careful you don't coast right past a diamond buried in every paragraph. No wonder John Wesley found it to be on of his favorite guidance books!
