A full year of daily readings from The Imitation of Christ and St. Therese of Lisieux, with an introduction by Ronald Knox "The compiler of this anthology has been happily inspired to sit between two treasure chests, dealing out to us a jewel first from this, then from that, like matched pearls...just five centuries divide them in date. Your first impression, when you see the pearls so well matched, is to exclaim at the resemblance; your second, that after all Christian piety does not alter with the ages, and there are certain rock-bottom truths which need constant reassertion...Out of the mouths of two witnesses every word shall stand; and here are two witnesses, faithful as those of Apocalypse, to brush away our feeble excuses with their pitiless realism...A book to keep by your bedside..." from the introduction by Ronald Knox
