"Keep thyself with Jesus both in life and death and commit thyself to His care, who alone can help when all others fail.If though couldst but purge himself from affection to creatures,Jesus would willingly dwell with thee.Thou wilt find all that in a manner lost, which thou hast placed in men apart from Jesus. For if thou seek thy comfort and thy gain in others, thou wilt often meet with loss. If in all things thou seek Jesus doubtless thou will find Jesus.For a man does himself more harm if he seek not Jesus,than the whole world and all his enemies could do."
(from My Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis).
The Christian faith is all about a relationship with Jesus,not what denomination you are a part of.Flee from idolatry and an unhealthy dependence on your fellow man.
If you compiled a list of the five greatest spiritual books, excluding the Bible,My Imitation of Christ would be on it.
