The first part focuses on Christ's birth and early life, while the second part explores his teachings and miracles. The third part delves into his passion and death, while the fourth part reflects on his resurrection and ascension. The fifth part examines Christ's presence in the Eucharist, while the sixth part meditates on his second coming. The final part offers prayers for various occasions, such as the liturgical year and personal needs.Throughout the book, Kempis emphasizes the importance of imitating Christ's virtues and living a life of humility, love, and service.
