The Following of Christ is a spiritual diary written by Gerard Groote, a Dutch theologian and founder of the Devotio Moderna movement in the 14th century. The book is a collection of his personal reflections, prayers, and meditations on the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. Groote's diary is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of Christian spirituality. The first part focuses on the importance of humility, self-denial, and the pursuit of holiness in everyday life. The second part delves deeper into the mysteries of the Christian faith, exploring topics such as the nature of God, the meaning of the cross, and the role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. The final section of the book is a collection of prayers and devotions that Groote used in his own spiritual practice.Throughout the book, Groote emphasizes the importance of living a life of simplicity, piety, and devotion to God. He encourages readers to seek a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and to cultivate a personal relationship with Christ through prayer, meditation, and acts of service. The Following of Christ is an inspiring and thought-provoking book that offers readers a glimpse into the mind and heart of one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today, offering guidance and inspiration for those seeking to deepen their own spiritual lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
