The Imitation of Christ (Dover Thrift Editions) Paperback

This classic of Christian devotional literature has brought understanding and comfort to millions for centuries. 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 Christ 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.Publisher ‏ : ‎ Dover Publications; Thrift Editions (September 18, 2003)Language ‏ : ‎ EnglishPaperback ‏ : ‎ 139 pagesISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 9780486431857ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0486431857Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 4.8 ouncesDimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.22 x 0.48 x 8.28 inches
