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.

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.

Has it all
The faux leather, the ribbon bookmark, the zipper, the Challoner text, the compact size, and the real icing on the cake for me - those gorgeous Dore illustrations - make this my favorite edition of the Imitation of Christ. It took a while to get used to the old English, having come from a couple of the modern translations, but once I got used to it, I actually prefer it to the newer translations, which inevitably over-soften some of the language (which is fine for beginners). Can't recommend this edition highly enough! Thank you to all who participated in its creation.
