Product Description:
This collection of Biblical and spiritual insights was first published anonymously in 1418. Since then, it has been a source of religious instruction and inspiration to many. This recent edition is different from its predecessors, as it is translated into modern English and organized into paragraph form. This newer format makes this Christian classic much more readable and understandable than previous editions. These meditations by a German priest on the life and teachings of Jesus offer great spiritual guidance.
