Beautiful book!

"The book is beautiful. In the book there are illustrations that are beautiful. I am very happy with this purchase. I did think it would be a little smaller but I’m not disappointed in it at all. I have been trying to make more time to sit down to read it."

Imitation of Christ

"The words of wisdom written in this book is amazing."

— LORNA J. (5/5)

Imitation of Christ

"I say 4/5 only because the cover is hard and inflexible now instead of soft and flexy. I have read the book, but wanted this smaller version to bring to Adoration. ❤️"
