Welcome to Litsy!

I found this book to be highly comforting and inspirational at this time of my life even more so because I am Catholic. (I am not judging anyone else‘s religious views at all.) I was a bit bothered by him speaking for Christ (β€œThe Voice of Christ”) sometimes without a Biblical reference. But, it did help him make his points. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The devotions of a 15th century monk. It was good but I had to read it in bite size pieces. It‘s a book I‘ve put down and picked up again a couple of times and finally finished this morning. 😊

An 1839 German edition of Imitation of Christ that, from what I can tell, was given to my second great grandfather Hindermann in 1873, when he was around 16.

Imitatio Christi is a wonderful classic devotional book for any and every Christian in all walks of life. Thomas Γ€ Kempis wonderfully lays out important aspects of the Christian Life and discuss hard questions such as seeking and finding comfort from God rather than Man or how and why to deny yourself and follow the will of God.
