Of the Imitation of Christ (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Of the Imitation of Christ

Besides copying the Bible and the religious writings of others, which he did, as became a man of his de votion, with the greatest accuracy as well as neatness, he composed various works of his own, all of a re ligious interest, several of which are still extant in ms. By his own hand. Of these, however, there is no need to make. Mention here, nor are they deserving of mention by the side of The Imitation of Christ, which is a work worthy, as hardly another is, to rank second to the Bible, and is likely to survive in the literature of the world as, long as the Bible itself.
