The Imitation of Christ, which first appeared in the late 15th century, has been called the most widely read work of devotion ever written. It encourages us to live a life devoid of worldly vanities and to imitate Christ in order to find peace and fulfillment.

Written by a German monk for his fellow clergy, The Imitation of Christ has appeared in nearly two thousand editions and translations since it was first set in then-newly-invented movable type. Taking its message from hundreds of scripture passages, it creates a powerful and attractive picture of the spiritual life for readers of any age or era.
