    Episode 000 An Introduction to the Imitation of Christ (Audio Only)

    "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas à Kempis was written by a monk to fellow monks, challenging them to follow Christ through all the difficulties of life.

In this podcast, I take the Knox translation of the Imitation and apply it to our lives now in the 21st century.
