This meditation on the spiritual life has inspired readers from Thomas More and St. Ignatius Loyola to Thomas Merton and Pope John Paul II. Written by the Augustinian monk Thomas à Kempis between 1420 and 1427, it contains clear instructions for renouncing wordly vanities and locating eternal truths.  No book has more explicitly and movingly described the Christian ideal: \"My son, to the degree that you can leave yourself behind, to that degree will you be able to enter into Me.\" With a new Foreword by Carl Anderson, the Supreme Knight and chief executive officer of the Knights of Columbus.","brand":"Some Good Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137008877808,"sku":"9781508010906","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781508010906_p0.jpg?v=1763720618","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781508010906","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
