THE IMITATION OF CHRIST BY THOMAS KEMPIS A very powerful spiritual guidance for the soul who seeks to imitate Jesus Christ.  Learn from me, because I am meek and humble of heart. Mat. 11:29

 

The Religion Moderator gave me permission to copy the rules from the Chambers' thread (with a few alterations) which I think are applicable. Thank you to the RM!

Absolutely no flaming! These daily threads are intended to be devotional in nature. If a particular day's offering says nothing to you, please just go on and wait for the next day. Consider these threads a DMZ of sorts, a place where a perpetual truce is in effect and a place where all other arguments and disagreements from other times and places are left behind.

I can attest from personal experience (Salvation's)  that reading from Imitation of Christ daily will almost certainly change - not one's faith - but one's perspective of his/her own faith, and open up new vistas in your spiritual life. If - when - this happens to a reader of these threads, and they choose to share what has happened within them - we are treading on hallowed ground. Be respectful.

Hmmm. I can’t quite figure out why the picture isn’t showing up in the above ping. Will work on it.

I love The Imitation of Christ. It is easy reading and can be picked up at any time, requiring reading only a page or two at a time with wonderful wisdom and insight into our human failings.

I understand that this book is now available in a Protestant version. I’m uncertain how it would differ from the Catholic version - perhaps a few chapters omitted? Never-the-less, it is powerful in it’s advise for Christians on how to increase in holiness.
