Beschreibung
The Imitation of Christ, a masterpiece of practical spiritual exercises, by Thomas a'Kempis, is second only to the Bible as the most widely read book in Christendom. Book III of The Imitation engages the mature Christian into a conversation with The Beloved: Christ Himself. Jesus looks over His Cross-heavy shoulder to encourage us to follow Him by taking us our own cross.
In Book III, the powerful words of The Imitation stay true to Thomas' original writing yet the language is tuned-in to the modern ear. In addition, each chapter, offers a chapter focus, applicable Bible verses, and short summaries of the chapter's key points.
In the fictional narrative, Thomas, and his Brother monks have been exiled to a new land as an act of obedience. Thomas learns new truths about himself, his older brother, Jan, and his fellow travelers in this vale of tears. Tim Moore uses the voice of Thomas a'Kempis to set the stage for the writing of Book III. The story, told through journal entries and letters, helps us imagine the place and conditions Thomas experienced and inspired him to write Book III of The Imitation. Thomas a'Kempis leads his Brothers closer to Christ as they follow Him on the road to Calvary. Thomas' 600-year-old advice echoes down the centuries reverberating with relevance to the modern Disciples of Jesus.
