The Imitation of Christ

By: Thomas A. Kempis

Narrated by: David Cochran Heath

Thomas à Kempis' collection of meditative writings from the Bretheren of the Common Life is the most widely read book in the world after the Bible. The reflective devotions have been a heartening friend to great men such as Thomas More, St. Ignatius Loyola, Thomas Merton, Pope John Paul I, and John Wesley.

Learning to live live Jesus is the central task that A. Kempis explores in this classic devotional. This book provides comfort and counsel to every person who seeks to live a more connected and whole life.

Truth

this was very good. truly, it should be how to walk closer with Jesus and understand what it really is to imitate him.

Next to the Bible...it's still the best

Next to the Bible...it's still the finest inspirational text ever written and i cannot recommend it highly enough. Thanks

Simply the BEST!

Best rendition of an all time favorite. Hard-core truthful Catholicism. I listen to this book repeatedly and have for years. David Corcoran Heath is the best narrator ever. You can't find this particular publication anywhere else. A real gem. I don't write many reviews, but this audio book hits home every time. - WML, US NAVY RETIRED

Truth is here.

I enjoyed listening to this book. I will be listening to it again and again. So much here, I will absorb more each time I listen to it.

Great inspirational book to worship The LORD Jesus

Encouraging and inspirational if you understand that God has done something for us, Jesus died for us; and secondly God has done something to us, we were crucified with Christ. Both justification and our sanctification are based on finished work Christ on the cross. We are saved by Grace through faith not of works (Eph 2:8-9). As you listen, please remember that you are accepted in the beloved Jesus Christ by faith. You can not evoke from God higher favour by your commitment than He already gave you through atoning death of Christ on the cross and through His resurrection. Please do not turn your sanctification into works of legalism but rather use this book to receive by faith what God has already given you through Christ on the cross and when He came back from grave.

Great narration and translation

Very simple English translation and the narration is very good in my opinion. Would very highly recommend this book to anyone.

profound

This book has some very profound truths and a gentle grace that surpasses much wisdom. it is apparent to me that Thomas a Kempis was very close to Jesus. someone say that his model for prayer is too pious or humble, but don't let this book pass you by as it has level of depth that may only be found once a century.
