Über diesen Titel
After the Bible, The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis is the favorite book of Catholics throughout the world and has been the spiritual guide of the saints since it first appeared in 1418. And of the English editions, none can equal this inspiring translation of Bishop Richard Challoner.
This book speaks to the soul of every true Christian, reminding him of the fleeting nature of earthly joy as opposed to the eternity of happiness with God. 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.
Now you will never be without the book that St. Thérèse of Lisieux loved and knew by heart.

A gift from above
I agree with these Saints and great men who read this book:
St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, who read the book during a stay in Paris.
St. Thomas More, who read The Imitation in the Tower of London, awaiting his execution.
St. Teresa of Avila, who urged prioresses to make the work available to members of each convent.
St. Teresa of the child Jesus, who learned the book off by heart and said it was the only helpful book she ever read before becoming a nun
John Newton, a slave-ship captain who read the work before a fateful 1681 storm at sea, leading to his conversion. He eventually wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Someone shopping near the Louvre in 1827 found a copy of The Imitation with “J.J. Rouseau” written on the fly leaf. The handwriting was validated, and the purchaser later discovered a letter in which the philosopher asked a friend to send him a copy of Kempis’ book
John Wesley. The founder of Methodism said The Imitation of Christ was the best summary of the Christian life he ever read.
Vincent Van Gogh. Amid painting such classics as “The Starry Night” and “Sunflowers,” the Dutch artist was deeply influenced by The Imitation. He wrote about it in eight letters to his brother Theo.
Oscar Wilde. “I am now off to bed after reading a chapter of St. Thomas a Kempis,” Wilde wrote. “I think half-an-hour’s warping of the inner man daily is greatly conducive to holiness.”
James Joyce. In 1897, the Irish novelist, purchased a copy of The Imitation
Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The Lutheran pastor and anti-Nazi dissident taught a course on The Imitation at the University of Berlin during the 1935-1936 academic year. In 1945, he had the book in his cell the night before the Nazis executed him.
Dag Hammarskjold. The Imitation was the only book found in his case when his plane crashed in Zambia in 1961.
This is an excellent book for anyone trying to follow Jesus. Along with such classics as Augustine's Confessions, Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle, and Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises, The Imitation of Christ continues to confront each generation of readers with the perennial truths of the Gospel.
