Brief Biographical Summary
Thomas à Kempis (c. 1380–1471) was a medieval Christian monk and author of The Imitation of Christ, one of the most influential devotional works in Christian history. His writings emphasize humility, self-denial, and a singular focus on Christ.
Fun fact: The Imitation of Christ has been translated into more languages than almost any other Christian book, second only to the Bible.
