The Imitation of Christ - leatherbound by Thomas a Kempis

The most popular religious book - after the Bible - ever written, is presented here in its best known English translation: that of the Venerable Richard Challoner (1691 - 1781), Vicar Apostolic of the London district in penal times, and perhaps the greatest English Catholic figure of the eighteenth century. A work of spiritual devotion - its purpose is to instruct the soul in Christian perfection with Christ as the Divine Model. It consists of a series of counsels of perfection written in a familiar and even colloquial style, and is divided into four parts/books: Useful Admonitions for a Spiritual Life; Admonitions Concerning Interior Things; Of Internal Consolation; Of the Blessed Sacrament. Size - 4" x 6". Hardbound (dark-brown leather)
