The Imitation of Christ (Fount Classics)

Zondervan

The Imitation of Christ is the work of at least three men: Gerard Groote, Florent Radewijns, and Thomas a Kempis. The first two were founders of the Brethren of the Common Life, a lay religious society that flourished in the Netherlands from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century. Working on their manuscripts, first as a compiler and editor and then as a coauthor, was Kempis.
So successful were Kempis's efforts that the work became the golden treasury not only of their community but also of the contemporary spirituality movement known as the Modern Devotion. Its prescriptions might very well be known as the Perennial Devotion for its continual appeal through the centuries.
In its fifteenth century Latin original the Imitation was not a silken cord of consecutive prose. Rather it was a series of scratchings, the sort that a spiritual director would note down in preparation for sermons and addresses. What wasn't always in the original was exactly how Kempis developed each topic sentence or wisdom quotation as he delivered it.
In this new rendition William Griffin recovers the original experience of listening to Kempis as he taught and preached to his spiritual charges. Using a variety of literary and historical means, Griffin enhances the original, making the insights of this seminal exposition of Christian life more accessible.

Excerpt from Of the Imitation of Christ: In Three Books; Translated From the Latin Of the book itself, it will be difficult to shew the excellency and use, to those that have no perception of the power of Spiritual Devotion; and unnecessary, to those that have: the numerous editions of the Ori ginal, however, and the numerous translations of it ia tn the different languages of all the nations professing Christianity, whether as Protestants or Papists, that have been continually published for near three hun dred years; are a testimony of approbation, which few human compositions can boast, and which the ad vocates for libertinism, though they may pretend to despise it, cannot but secretly venerate. But, besides the professors and patrons of profane wit and unrestrained pleasure, there are some sober minds, who, because they live in a nation where Chris tianity is professed, have assumed the character of Christians; and being perfectly pleased with them selves, and satisfied with following the regular rotation of formal duties, are offended at every attempt to con vinee them, that there is something still needful.

De Imitatione Christi: Libri Quatuor (Classic Reprint)

No risk, pay the cost. Know risk, reap the rewards. In our risk-avoidance culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown—the risks of life—we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential.
Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives. From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you’ve never imagined.
By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life?
The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters—conjoined twins—shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors. As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk—he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take.
In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives. In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision. Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us---and all that we can offer life?
Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including:
<ul>
<li>A short review of risk-taking in history,</li>
<li>An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk,</li>
<li>Learning how to assess and accept risks, and</li>
</ul>
Understanding how risk reveals the purpose of your lives.
