•••••

After the Bible, The Imitation of Christ is the most popular book among Catholics all over the world. And none of the English editions come close to Bishop Richard Challoner's brilliant translation in this book.

This magnificent and ageless edition, which is part of the TAN Classics Deluxe Set, is suited given the timeless and profound wisdom contained within its pages. This edition of The Imitation of Christ, with its luxurious leatherette hardback, satin ribbon, golden gilded borders, reinforced sides for longevity, smyth-sewn binding, and gold foil, will both enrich your soul and adorn your home.

This book speaks to the soul of every sincere Christian, reminding us of the transient nature of earthly joy versus the eternal contentment with God. It was the sole spiritual reading of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who loved it and knew it by memory, when it originally appeared in 1418.

The true mysticism of which The Imitation of Christ talks, according to Father Garrigou-Lagrange, is accessible to everybody if they are prepared to pursue the path of humility, the cross, constant prayer, and docility to the Holy Spirit.
