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
I like reading books that were printed way back 1800’s and before.

The Imitation of Christ
It has been said that this book is second only to the Bible, and that every Catholic should have a copy and read it. It’s a beautiful and inspirational resource.

Beautiful editon
This zippered edition is a joy to use. The smallish size, the not-too-small font, the frequent drawings, the zippered protection of the pages; all this adds together with the rich content of the Imitation to make this book a blessing to own and use.
