Douglas continues his series on The Imitation of Christ, today looking at the Benefits of Obedience / Self-denial / Surrender.
For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.
Our podcast (10 minutes) is drawn from three meditations: "On the Many Benefits of Obedience," "On Self-Denial," and "On the Surrender of Self" (Book 3, Chapters 22, 32, and 37). Today there is no commentary, just reading.
