This classic revival is a gift to the reader.

What a wonderful book! I feel like I've found my own personal workbook for spiritual study and growth, my guide to living a more spiritual life. Ms. Long has translated The Imitation of Christ using verse - a daunting task - with clarity and enlightened grace. Her words speak to my soul. Many of the lessons in her book are difficult, but we are told that if we make the effort to follow them we can become stronger in spirit, grow in our love for each other, and deepen our love of God - experience a "spirit quickening." I'm grateful for this book, and I recommend it to anyone who may be searching for inner peace and a better way to live life.
Delivers on the promise of its title

What a pleasure it is as a reader to find a book that opens a window on a person's heartfelt search for wisdom and spirituality. The lessons in this book are sometimes difficult, but the author always renders them with grace, giving equal value to both the struggle and the reward. Too often, we take the message of works like this for granted. With energy and intelligence, Ms. Long gives us poetry that helps us to rediscover what a 'life well lived' can be. I highly recommend it.
A book offering spiritual comfort, faith and hope.

SPIRIT QUICKENING is truly a spiritual comfort. Long's writing really touches the reader and offers a message of faith and hope. This is a book to be read again and again. It really makes you aware of God's power and presence. What a gift to have this version of THE IMITATION OF CHRIST in words one can understand.
