Paperback. English. Publisher: Penguin. In fair condition.
After the bible, this is the touchstone and probably the best-loved book of Christianity. Its author, Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471), had a wide knowledge of the Scriptures and classical philosophy, and although most of his life was spent in a Dutch monastery, he also possessed a deep understanding of human nature. His acquired wisdom convinced him of man's complete dependence on God's love and the empty futility of life without it. The book has exercised a profound influence for over 500 years, and Thomas More, Ignatius Loyola and John Wesley are among the many who have acknowledged their debt to it. Book jacket.
