text: I would agree with the translator that Imitation of Christ ranks very close to the Bible. I read it over and over. It is shocking clear and concise. It forces you to examine your conscience and admit that you are a sinner and encourages you not to be afraid to carry your cross and aim, yes, to be a saint.
  
  Thomas a Kempis's words cut to the heart and ring true over and over. In the normal state of human depravity, deception, duplicity, relativism, and excuse-making no one could write such a book without a transcendant, almighty, omniscient, omnipresent and infinitely merciful Lord.
  
  Each chapter feeds the hungry and thirsty soul and feeds the fire to seek our Lord more and more.
  
  I wait patiently for your return Lord Jesus for your judgement and the new heavan and earth
