Prayers and Meditations on the Life of Christ

Thomas à Kempis (c. 1380-1471) was a German-Dutch canon regular of the late medieval period and the author of The Imitation of Christ, one of the most popular and best known Christian devotional books. His important works include a series of sermons to the novices of St. Augustine Monastery, including Prayers and Meditations on the Life of Christ and Meditations on the Incarnation of Christ.
