Reviews

[Patti Clement · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great Classic of Western Spirituality! I studied Chapter 3 on the Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and other devotional exercises. I really was intrigued learning about Master Geert Grote who originated this movement.

Some writings from the "Modern Devotion" movement of the late middle ages, as well as a history of the movement.
