The saintly Thomas a Kempis' classic guide to the spiritual and religious life, which transcends all sectarian divisions in its emphasis on the importance of the inward journey.
No book other than the Bible has had more influence or been more greatly loved by devout Christians than this celebrated seminal work by Thomas a Kempis, a medieval Augustinian monk. His writings contain clear instructions for renouncing worldly values and satisfactions, for solitary prayer and meditation, and for the restraint of the senses. Only by following these guidelines will the soul experience unity with God.
