The most readable version of The Imitation of Christ available!With this fresh yet faithful translation, it's easier than ever to join the millions of readers throughout the centuries who have fallen in love with The Imitation of Christ, a top-ten spiritual classic that will encourage you to follow the example of Jesus into holiness, simplicity, and humility._______________"No book, I believe, except the Bible, has been so universally read and loved by Christians of all tongues and sects."- Thomas CarlyleHow do you fight back when the world around you threatens to distract and destroy your soul? In arguably the most influential Christian devotional in history, Thomas à Kempis issues a surprising call to retreat from the battle into what he calls the “inner room” of our souls. The Imitation of Christ provides practical guidance on living this inner life of devotion and service to God. It explores themes such as humility, self-discipline, prayer, and the love of Christ, and encourages readers to emulate the example of Jesus. The book is comprised of short, easily-digestible chapters, creating a “daily devotional” that has been eagerly consumed by Christians throughout the centuries, including some of the most influential Christians of recent memory. Thomas More called The Imitation of Christ one of the three books everyone should own. C. S. Lewis read it “pretty nearly every day.” Dallas Willard said it is “absolutely indispensable.” Thérèse of Lisieux “always had it with (her), to the amusement of (her) people at home.” And that is just to name a few. To ensure this book continues its immense influence, we at Modern Saints have breathed new life into the classic text, writing a faithful, fresh adaptation based on a popular English translation published in 1874. Our goal was to create the book that would have been published had it been written in the 21st century. Here are the three basic ways in which this book was adapted:Sentence structures and vocabulary were altered to better suit modern readers,Paragraphs were broken up or consolidated for clarity,And, while nearly a word-for-word translation, short bits of text were added or removed intermittently to help the flow of reading. The result of these adaptations is a fun and fresh reading experience void of needless struggle, allowing you to focus not on wading through archaic language but on contemplating the depth of this book's wisdom.
