From AudioFile
When one seeks classic works on religion (Christian or otherwise), this seminal work should be the first book on the second shelf. While not actual scripture, it's as close as one can get, and if one's goal is to be Christ-like, this recasts much of scripture in that mold. A true visionary, á Kempis lovingly crafted his sentences to transcend typical mystical writing. The narration is fluid, seeming more recited than read. David Cochran Heath once again produces a primer on tone, inflection, and diction. Many times the listener could audibly detect a smile from Heath, as a love of the themes and subject matter is clearly evident in the reading.
