He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness saith the Lord. These are the words of Christ; and they teach us how far we must imitate His life and character if we seek true illumination and deliverance from all blindness of heart. Let it be our most earnest study therefore to dwell upon the life of Jesus Christ. His teaching surpasseth all teaching of holy men and such as have His Spirit find therein the hidden manna. But there are many who though they frequently hear the Gospel yet feel but little longing after it because they have not the mind of Christ. He therefore that will fully and with true wisdom understand the words of Christ let him strive to conform his whole life to that mind of Christ.

Good reading
I would recommend this book to all Catholics, as it tells of the way we should be living while awaiting the second coming of Christ. I read a little from it each night as I go to bed.

No Words For This Book!!
This book is one of a kind, second ONLY to the bible. It's very profound and reaches your innermost being. I had to be at the right time in my life to appreciate and totally enjoy this book. In short, anyone who doesn't come in contact with this book has lost a great deal. Also, on this book site, it's cheap and plentiful!!

awesome insight
In the mid 1400's when this book was written, everyone in Christendom was Roman Catholic. Consider that this book was instrumental in John Newton's and John Wesley's conversions. We can sift out the legalistic toned doctrine since we are informed. Overall Kempis has awesome insight to the man Jesus and our walk as a pilgrim and follower of Jesus.
