Imago Christi: The Example of Jesus Christ

by James Stalker

During his more than thirty years on earth the Lord Jesus Christ lived a life so blameless that even unbelievers testified to His faultlessness. Void of any trespass of God's law, He satisfied, pleased, and moved in perfect union with His heavenly Father. "Imago Christi is a probing and majestic view of the Lord's holiness in private, in public, with His friends, and with His foes. Twenty-first century readers will find this creative and thought-provoking masterpiece as enthralling as its original nineteenth-century audience. "Imago Christi is a classic you will enjoy again and again.

"This is an immortal book." –Charles Spurgeon

I concur.

[Teresa]

I read this book through with a fellow believer whose name means pure. I loved it then, I love it still & all my trust is to soon, yes, very soon, to leave not some, but all my vain imaginations, to see Him as He truly is, see Christ fully, without any more attempts of any imaginings and to arise forever to love the One who inspired its pages forever! He is more than an example, He is Truth Himself -.... The way, The Truth and The Life....
