Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-07 00:00:00 Ron Suriyopas Started September 4, 2006; finished yesterday, 30 May 2008 Reading this book has been a most enjoyable journey; I'll miss it. I've always loved Imitation of Christ and until I encountered this book, I thought I knew Thomas à Kempis. Consolations is a more intimate glimpse into the soul of this great mystic and lover of Christ and as such, only left me wanting to know them both more. MOST highly recommended! ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< Have been reading this book during Adoration for quite some time now. I really, really like it! The translation is modern, blunt and powerful. I like that William Griffin's translation packs a punch. His word choice is familiar and 'earthy'--for lack of a better description. It reads like you would talk to someone you feel very, very safe with--sometimes quiet, sad and clinging; other times ranting, confused and angry. While "Imitation of Christ" is very pious and full of good counsel; "Consolations for My Soul" is less formal and more what its title suggests, consoling. Although I'm only 3/4 finished with it, I already rank it up there with/right behind "Imitation".
