The Fire of Love: Meditations on Following Christ Wholeheartedly

The Imitation, beloved by Christians for centuries, is said to be the most widely read devotional work next to the Bible. In its pages, the author urges his readers to give themselves fully to God and to wholeheartedly follow Christ, becoming more like Him each day. 

The Fire of Love is filled with specially chosen quotations from this renowned book. As you meditate on these excerpts, presented in a beautifully illustrated layout, you will be inspired to pursue greater love, devotion, and service for God.

Thomas à Kempis refers to Jesus as a “treasure” and as “a Good above all good.” He calls us to make seeking God and imitating Christ our highest goal, affirming with this heartfelt prayer, "By loving myself amiss, I lost myself; and seeking You alone and purely loving You, I have found both myself and You.”
