The Following of Christ - Tapa dura

This classic book "teaches how a man should follow the poor life of our Lord Jesus Christ, and how a man should live inwardly, and how he should come to right true perfection, and teacheth sundry lovely differences of Godly truth." Christian mystics will find great joy and spiritual comfort in reading this illuminating book.

Tauleb is by no means unknown to English readers, not only of the Catholic Church. Translations of many of his sermons have appeared as early as 1857, together with a Life of Tauler and a Preface by the Rev. Charles Kingsley. For many interesting particulars relating to the great German Dominican of the fourteenth century we refer the reader to the work in question The History and Life of the Reverend Doctor John Tauler of Strasburg, with twenty-five of his Sermons, translated by Susanna Winkworth, and a Preface by the Rev. Charles Kingsley. This book is very readable, though recent researches, and especially those of Dr. Denifle, have corrected certain erroneous views associated with it.
