Advent Book Study


  • Christ Church Denver 2950 South University Blvd. Denver CO 80210 USA (map)

This Advent, the clergy of Christ Church invite you to read The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis. Compiled in the 15th century, The Imitation of Christ is the most widely read book of Christian devotion of all time. Apart from the Bible itself, no other Christian book has been translated into more languages across the world.

Best of all, you can download a PDF of the book for free here. If you would like a printed copy, just let Fr. Joseph know on your registration form below, and we’ll prepare a copy for you to pick up at the Welcome Desk. A Kindle version and audiobook are also available; as well as an adaptation for 8-12 year old children.

And if you’d like an opportunity to discuss with Fr Joseph and fellow parishioners, we will have in-person conversations following Sunday services and Zoom discussions on Wednesday evenings.

Questions? Contact Fr Joseph.
