After the Bible, The Imitation of Christ is the all-time favorite book of Catholics throughout the world. And of the English editions, none can equal this inspiring translation by Bishop Richard Challoner.
This book speaks to the soul of every true Christian, reminding us of the fleeting nature of earthly joy as opposed to the eternity of happiness with God.
The guide of the saints since it first appeared in 1418, it was the sole spiritual reading of St. Therese of Lisieux, who loved it and knew it by heart.
Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange asserted that the true mysticism of which it speaks is accessible to all, if they are willing to follow the way of humility, the cross, continual prayer, and docility to the Holy Ghost.

The Imitation Of Christ
Disappointed - print is too light, my old March 25, 1954 is much easier to read. I feel the same way about some of the other books I have purchased from Tan.

The Imitation of Christ - zippered
I love this book. I have a paperback copy, but after reading I knew I needed something that could withstand the test of time as I would be referencing or rereading often. This does just that. Provides me a resource with greater protection from day-to-day handling and the unforeseen. Great buy!

Required reading for any Catholic
This book should be required reading for all Catholics. It really puts a spotlight on our sins and ways we are not living in a way that will bring us closer to GOD.
