Do not pick up this book unless you want to be changed What good is it to "know" God if that knowledge does not influence your attitudes and behavior. For hundreds of years, The Imitation of Christ and The Practice of the Presence of God have served as remedies to this dilemma. Going beyond dead formalities and vainly exalting doctrine over the needs of people's souls, both of these works demonstrate what the Christian life should look like by example. With Jesus Christ as the ultimate point of reference, these two works display the Christian life filled with awe, reverence, love, mercy, and compassion - a faith that is not alone. This modern rendering of these devotional classics will stir your conscience, move your soul, and change your life.
