The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis is a Christian devotional work. It was first composed in Latin ca.1418-1427.  It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, of which Kempis was a member.
The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read devotional work next to the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic.  Its popularity was immediate, and it was printed 745 times before 1650.  Apart from the Bible, no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ.
