Next to the Bible, The Imitation of Christ is the best-selling book of all time. What most people don't know is that the book's author, Thomas a Kempis, wrote other brilliant works, including Consolations for My Soul, which until now has been unavailable to modern day readers. In this new translation, William Griffin has captured the charm and deep spirituality of this monk, who shares abundant wisdom about God and the soul's mystical relationship to the divine.
