Format: Imitation Leather Bound Edition : St. Joseph Edition; Large Print; Abridged The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis is a Christian devotional book. It was first composed in Latin ca.1418-1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, of which Kempis was a member. The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read devotional work next to the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic. Its popularity was immediate, and it was printed 745 times before 1650. Apart from the Bible, no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ. The text is divided into four books, which provide detailed spiritual instructions: "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", "Directives for the Interior Life", "On Interior Consolation" and "On the Blessed Sacrament". The approach taken in the Imitation is characterized by its emphasis on the interior life and withdrawal from the world, as opposed to an active imitation of Christ by other friars. The book places a high level of emphasis on the devotion to the Eucharist as key element of spiritual life.

As described. I really like these mugs. I bought one years ago at The Christmas Tree Store. I always let my husband use it and now I will have one to use also. The seller shipped the mugs very fast and had them very securely wrapped to protect from breakage in shipping. I couldn't ask for more from a seller. Excellent item, service and seller. Thank You!

Book was much better than I hoped for. And It was packaged so nice! It was wrapped up inside like a gift! I'm a bookworm. I love books. And it was so nice to receive a new book and have it wrapped up as a gift. I will definitely be buying from this seller again. Five stars are not enough for this seller.
