The Imitation of Christ

Edited by Paul M. Bechtel.

This book first appeared in manuscript form in 1427, written by a secluded Dutch monk. Many of his thoughts on spiritual matters appear to have been written for fellow monks, but they have been much admired and read as a source of encouragement and advice by Christians of every walk of life for hundreds of years.

This edition is styled for the modern reader, but it retains the spirit of earlier editions.
