Note:TheImitationof Christ(Latin:DeImitatione Christi)byThomasà KempisisaChristiandevotionalbook. It was first composed inLatinca.1418-1427.It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from theDevotioModernamovement,where Kempis was a member. TheImitationisperhaps the most widely read devotional work next to theBible,and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic. The text isdivided into four books which provide detailed spiritualinstructions. The four books are,\"HelpfulCounsels of the Spiritual Life\", \"Directives for theInterior Life\", \"On Interior Consolation\", \"Onthe Blessed Sacrament\".The approach taken in theImitationischaracterized by its emphasis on the interior life and withdrawalfrom the world, as opposed to an active imitation of Christ by otherfriars. The book places a high level of emphasis on the devotion totheEucharistaskey element of spiritual life.
