How do we make Jesus’ love come alive in our everyday lives?
The Imitation of Christ is one of the most enduring of the Christian documents. Reflecting on a famous passage, Easwaran explores what it means to make Jesus’ love come alive in our everyday lives.
Easwaran is one of the twentieth century's great spiritual teachers and an authentic guide to timeless wisdom. His books on meditation, spiritual living, and the classics of world mysticism have been translated into twenty-six languages.
Drawing on his extensive experience as a teacher of meditation and an authority on the mystical tradition, Easwaran shows what love is, how to love more effectively, and how we can strengthen our capacity to love.
This book includes an essay on Thomas à Kempis and mysticism in the late Middle Ages.
"It is fascinating, enriching and interesting to have someone from outside the Christian tradition help us to be in touch with the riches of our own heritage. The breadth of this man's understanding of Christian spirituality is evidenced by the insightful use he makes of people like Augustine, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila, Tauler, Catherine of Genoa, and Mechthild of Magdeburg." -- Monos
"The reflections on The Imitation of Christ passages are rich with Easwaran's familiarity with the writings of many other mystics and his own corroborating experiences. The simplicity, sincerity and compassion so clear in these reflections will convince the wavering to take up Easwaran's challenge." -- Prairie Messenger
