Summary

"Is it possible for the average believer to truly imitate Christ? Such is the question posed by the 14th century monk in this compelling collection of short devotional thoughts. Thomas a Kempis focused on the themes of love, mercy, and the holiness of God with the hope of helping believers understand the importance of following in the footsteps of Christ. Writing of our need for a dependence upon our Creator, a Kempis reveals the emptiness of a life lived apart from the ultimate source of truth, while exhorting the Christian to seek happiness in knowing and serving God."--Inside jacket cover
