This is the most popular work of spiritual theology ever, second only to the Bible in most books in print. This gem reads like the book of Proverbs, offering the reader very practical advice for advancing in holiness. ; Moody Classics Series; This spiritual classic contains a mind-numbing amount of practical advice. It should be read in bits, rather than cover to cover. Imitation of Christ makes a great self-examination not only for spiritual growth but for general character growth as well. Some of the finer cultural advice may seem a little dated, but it doesn't take much to translate the ideas into modern terms.

The Moody Press version is written in traditional language that some may find stodgy while others find it beautiful. It is also a trade paperback version, printed on standard quality paper with the typical dimestore novel cover. However, it costs less than the Benziger Brothers version! ; 360 pages; 2 currently in stock;
