The Imitation of Christ

After the Bible, this book is a must for anyone wishing to gain a closer with relationship with Our Lord. Prayer and fasting will help to take away any blindness from its meaning. This book should be kept handy and read over and over again for anyone who is searching for truth.
Too much hocus-pocus. Would have been better if it had focused on the philosophy of Christ's teachings rather than all the deity/sky-worship drivel.
Not very modern.
Really good! i highly recommend it to anyone and to those who want to go deeper in their walk with The Lord, to those who are hungry, thirsty for God. you would learn alot, thought provoking and convicting. .not shallow
