The Heart and Soul of Imitating Christ: A Fresh Look at the Thomas a Kempis Classic

The writings of Thomas á Kempis have been widely read by people the world over. His wisdom will always speak to each new generation. Here is a new version of The Imitation of Christ in a contemporary style that will make the sense for today's Christians. The author's purpose was to write what Thomas á Kempis might have written if he were writing in the 21st century. Thus, this is not a new translation but a new interpretation, making this classic work relevant for modern Christians in ordinary, easily understandable language.

Anyone seeking a deeper relationship with the Divine, and those who have previously set aside The Imitation of Christ because they could not grasp its meaning will be sure to appreciate Finley's straight-forward approach and uncomplicated style. His treatment of the text using contemporary theological perspectives will provide a familiar ground on which to meet this spiritual master and seriously consider adopting his wisdom as one's own.
