The Little Garden of Roses and Valley of Lilies

Thomas à Kempis, the fifteenth-century Augustinian canon best known for The Imitation of Christ, wrote these two short devotional works for those trying to live a life of prayer. The Little Garden of Roses and the Valley of Lilies gather brief chapters of spiritual counsel on humility, patience and the love of God, written in the same plain, searching manner as his more famous book.

A quiet companion for anyone who already treasures The Imitation of Christ and wants more of its author's gentle, unhurried wisdom.
