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.

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.

Excellent Edition
This is the third time I have purchased The Imitation of Christ. A previous zippered version came apart at the binding, and the other was a different translation. I appreciate this edition. The binding is excellent, The leatherette feel is nice in the hands. The book opens easily for handling and reading. I bought two copies extra after evaluating the first one because I wanted them for when I wear this one out.
