pickThe 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. π

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.
pickImitatio 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.

A wise lover values not so much the gift of the lover as the love of the giver.
