Book Review The Imitation of Christ

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis is the best devotional type book that I have ever read. I took a long time reading it, mostly as a daily devotion, so that I could digest every thought. One must be cautioned, however, in that he was a Catholic monk and every so often some tenants of Catholic theology surface. But not so much that the book is completely vitiated. On the contrary it is orthodox and a very powerful display of spiritual maturity for the most part. The small amount of error that is in the book can be taken with a grain of salt for a discerning reader. His love for God and his desire to implement practical theology to life as regarding how we ought to live one towards another is infectious.
