Purchase options and add-ons

With today's accelerated pace of life, preoccupation with careers, and family demands, there is little time for celebrating our humanity--and even less time for seeking God.  So how does a twentieth-century believer set about living as a Christian in such a society?

The writings of devout pilgrims such as Brother Lawrence, Thomas á Kempis, and St. Augustine refocus our attention on the basics of the Christian journey.  Retold in the language and setting of our world today, these classics offer timely messages of startling relevance to Christians and those interested in Christianity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Modern Read of Classic Books
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2011
Practicing the Presence of God, The Imitation of Christ and The Confession of St. Augustine, these classics have been retold and kept true to their intended spirit in a language for the modern reader. If you have never read these classics due to difficulty with the language, or have had difficulty reading them,get the book and you will appreciate these classics in a new way. The author does take some liberties in updating it for a modern generation, but he tells us he is doing it and why. You can tell that he values what the Original Authors themselves wanted to convey and Benard Bangley takes none of the heart away from these writings from the past. I hope you will enjoy these as a devotional and as a look into the past of our faith! Blessings, Kenn

4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile Retelling
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2011
I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of this little book. While most people may want to actually read the original translations of these three wonderful classics of spiritual formation literature, these "retold" or repackaged stories are certainly worth the read. The lessons or spiritual principles of Brother Lawrence's life, and of Thomas a Kempis and Augustine are preserved in these offerings, and may be just the "ticket" for the modern reader or younger generations? Good for bedtime reading, study, devotional times and more.
