Whenever I would read quotes from some of the old “heroes” of the faith like à Kempis or A.W. Tozer, I admired their passion for Christ. They seemed to have something that I felt I didn’t have. I asked – do I know about Christ, or do I really know Christ? Writings like this encourage a closer deeper relationship with our Lord – that’s one reason I enjoy them. Hope you do too! BTW – I discovered and bought this book at my local Walmart.

I agree – the modern English makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing.

It is amazing that à Kempis’ work continues to speak to so many people. Today’s world needs more deep thinkers like him! Thanks Sarah.

I didn’t know Jim Watkins made this classic available for 21st century readers. The selection you chose is right where we live!

I have heard of Thomas a’ Kempis, but have avoided reading him, or other writers from that era, because I find the ancient English to be onerous to plow through. If the book reads like the passage you quoted, then I think I would learn much and enjoy reading it. Thanks for reviewing this book for us.

Thanks for sharing this, Cheryl.
