"The manuscript was discovered in 1516 in a monastic library in Germany and first published under the title Theologia Germanica by Martin Luther, who said of it: "Next to the Bible and St. Augustine, no book has ever come into my hands from which I have learned, or would wish to learn, more of what God, and Christ, and men, and all things are."" "Tony D'Souza's modernization of the English text and his informative introduction make this devotional work available to a new generation of readers. It will be valued equally by those interested in classic religious texts and those seeking deeper wells of inspiration."--BOOK JACKET.
