Thomas H . Kempis
INDISPENSABLE
AN ETERNAL CLASSIC OF CHRISTIAN LITERATURE
The Imitation of Christ
Thomas H . Kempis
I nspiring and daunting at the same time , The Imitation of Christ is one of the oldest and most popular devotionals in history , as well as a classic of Christian literature . Its influence remains strong in the Church of this day
– six hundred years after its publication – and with good reason , too .
EVERY DAY WE are overwhelmed with messages that stimulate our pride . Mass media promote products and services that allegedly make us better and happier ; social networks turn us into celebrities , whether we have a hundred followers or a million . We live in a constant hustle , trying to be successful in our lives , believing we have control over them .
The work attributed to Thomas à Kempis goes against everything that moves today ’ s society . With harsh but sincere language , The Imitation of Christ reminds the reader of what he really is : a fragile , mortal being .
