The Imitation of Christ by Thomas À Kempis is the most widely read Christian devotional book next to the Bible. It was written in Latin five hundred years ago and now brings comfort to millions of readers in over fifty languages. The Imitation is based on meditations on the life and teachings of Jesus, and emphasises the interior life and the centrality of the Eucharist rather than an active imitation of Christ. This version has an index of Biblical references, an index of names and an index of subjects. "Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be." Thomas À Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
