The Way to Become Like Jesus, written by Thomas à Kempis... I know it would be useful for religious, but as a layperson, I also bought it because I want to be like Jesus.
I own *The Imitation of Christ*, translated and published by Father Yun Eul-su in 1954, and it is truly... a very precious book that I can keep by my bedside and read over and over again, and which offers the precise direction on how to live as a Christian and as a religious, transcending denominations.
Cas Readers' Book of the Month for June: The Imitation of Christ. “You are the best. Do as you please. You are the most important person in the world. It is okay to rest if it is hard. It is okay not to be perfect. Just let your heart flow.” These are the contents of essays frequently seen in bookstores these days. We repeat a life of empathizing with such words and comforting ourselves by calling them rationalizations. We are accustomed to such words, but The Imitation of Christ is completely
The Imitation of Christ, a book that any Catholic has likely heard of at least once, is also referred to as a classic that Christians must read. Given that it has been read for such a long time—to the extent that it is considered one of the most widely read books by Christians alongside the Bible—one can imagine just how excellent its content must be. A classic is not a classic simply because it is old. It is a classic that transcends time and allows for dialogue with people from hundreds of
This was a book recommended to me as something good to read when I first became a believer. It was a grateful book that was truly helpful when read with an earnest and pure heart, especially when I was troubled by inner turmoil or worries, or when I wanted to entrust myself to the Lord while struggling with worldly matters. As I read the Lord's words and the words of the disciples who followed them, I found myself thinking that I, too, wanted to live like that. It was a book that enabled me to
Many things in the world are changing rapidly, and the hearts of those chasing that flow are equally busy. We are living in an era where taking time to catch our breath and find our own rhythm is absolutely necessary. Amidst the shouts of "It is your fault" and "It is the world's fault," this is a precious time to quietly whisper, "It is largely my fault," and pray. It is also a time when, while all manner of dazzling things captivate people's attention, the footsteps of those who recognize the
The Imitation of Christ. I own the previous 2nd edition of the Imitation of Christ. I bought it after seeing it on Aladin, and as soon as I read the first page, every single word and sentence struck me deeply. They say it is the best-selling book after the Bible, and if you read it, you can really feel that this statement is not wrong. The reason I bought another copy despite already owning it is the autobiography of Thérèse of Lisieux, which I recently read. It is said that Thérèse of Lisieux
The best-selling book after the Bible. The origin of all modern self-help books. No further words are needed.
Thomas à Kempis: Semi-produced sect
Written by the 15th-century German monk Thomas à Kempis, *The Imitation of Christ* has been a bestseller widely read by both Christians and non-believers since its publication. It has long been regarded as a spiritual guide that expresses the Christian ideal in the clearest and most concise manner. The book is divided into four major volumes, each consisting of 12 to 59 sub-topics. True to its title, *The Imitation of Christ*, these sub-topics are organized to present the most important norms that lay believers and religious must observe to imitate Christ. Modern Christians living busy lives are prone to neglecting their duties as believers and becoming spiritually lethargic. To such Christians, *The Imitation of Christ* gently teaches, like a mild teacher, how to return to God and live in Him. It teaches and shows how Jesus Christ, when He lived as a human, overcame all the anguish and torment possessed by humans—such as the reasons and methods for enduring the faults of others and the methods of cutting oneself off to gain freedom of mind—and left an exemplary path for mankind.
