With the exception of the Bible, no Christian writing has had so wide a vogue or so sustained a popularity as this. And yet, in one sense, it is hardly an original work at all.

I keep The Imitation of Christ next to my Bible. It is a daily source of inspiration and like the Bible, every time I read it, it teaches me something new. It is a treasure that everyone should have a copy of. I am buying as many as I can and passing them out to everyone I know. Written over 500 years ago, it stil inspires and leads us closer to Our Lord.
