Bountiful Goodness

Description

The introduction to this volume includes a brief biographical sketch of Thomas À Kempis, a fourteenth-century German monk, as well as some notes about the texts themselves. Like all meditation books, explains the introduction, this one is not to be read in one sitting, but pondered and prayed over slowly. “Pause and reflect on what [À Kempis] has to say,” advises Fr. Joseph Tylenda, the translator, “and then join with him when he addresses the Lord and listen to Him when He speaks to you.”
