“Imitate God,” wrote Paul to the believers in Ephesians, “therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ” (Ephesians 5:1-2). The Imitation of Christ is a devotional classic that has stood the test of time. It was written anonymously in Latin in the Netherlands. It is believed that Thomas Haemmerlein (1380 – 1471) better known as Thomas a Kempis is credited to be the author, compiler, and editor of this immortal work. Over the centuries, this book has been recommended by spiritual giants like John Wesley and Thomas Merton. This book has been published more than six thousand editions and in more than fifty languages. James N. Watkins has produced this classic in modern English version and made it relevant, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone. It is easy to read and arranged by topic so the insights by Thomas a Kempis are clear and challenging. Read it to be changed and challenged.
