Sinopsis

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, is a Christian devotional book first composed in Medieval Latin as De Imitatione Christi (c. 1418–1427).

The devotional text is divided into four books of detailed spiritual instructions: (i) "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", (ii) "Directives for the Interior Life", (iii) "On Interior Consolation", and (iv) "On the Blessed Sacrament". The devotional approach of The Imitation of Christ emphasises the interior life and withdrawal from the mundanities of the world, as opposed to the active imitation of Christ practised by other friars. The devotions of the books emphasise devotion to the Eucharist as the key element of spiritual life.

The Imitation of Christ is a handbook for the spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, which Thomas followed. The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian devotional work after the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic.

The book was written anonymously in Latin in the Netherlands c. 1418–1427. Its popularity was immediate, and after the first printed edition in 1471-72, it was printed in 745 editions before 1650. Apart from the Bible, no book had been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ at the time.

We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, lack of self-discipline and polarization. Just look at what happened in recent events at the White House! Other examples are the Covid Tanker blockade, destructive rioting in cities, hospitals coming under siege, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.... all were and are avoidable. 
Staple Society results from succeeding constructive and protective concepts meeting obligations which generally follow traditions aimed at accepted common responsibilities. 
Rob Howat discusses and explores these social building blocks in these four books with facts and examples. He shows that for society and the law to work responsibilities must be fulfilled before meaningful rights can follow. He suggests the ongoing need for calm discussion, research and reviews, an aim for balance, and well-understood and universally agreed 'ground rules' for educational pursuits. 
The best time to open calm discussions with a goal to start building change is now, using constructive philosophy, logic, and religious proven wisdom. This set of books will greatly simplify and assist in building that deeper informed debate.

The Modern-Day Jōb: An Amazing Fable of Truth is a gripping tale of faith, heartbreak, and triumph that will leave you reflecting on life’s deepest questions long after the final page. 
On the surface, Darius seems to have it all – a beautiful family, a thriving career, and a life of comfort. But, almost overnight, everything he’s worked so hard to build begins to crumble. Financial struggles, professional betrayals, and the devastating collapse of his marriage push him to the brink of despair. Just as it seems nothing more can go wrong, Darius discovers an even deeper battle is raging – one that tests his faith, his strength, and his very soul. 
In a narrative that echoes the trials of the biblical Jōb, Darius is forced to confront not only the external chaos threatening his life but also the internal wounds he’s carried for decades. Along the way, the people he meets, one after another, shine a light on the hidden forces influencing his life. Through their guidance and kindness, and through his own prayers, Darius uncovers the spiritual warfare at play in his world. These encounters with the divine and the demonic reveal hard truths about the nature of evil, the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of unconditional love. 
If you’ve ever felt lost, questioned your purpose, or wondered how to make sense of suffering, The Modern-Day Jōb will inspire you to keep going, dig deeper, and find meaning in the struggle.
