Men Who've Walked With God: Thomas à Kempis, 1953 July 17
Thurman's 13th sermon on "The Men Who've Walked With God" examines "The Imitations of Christ" written by Thomas à Kempis. Thurman says that there is a part of our personalities that wants to give over control; we want to relate to something ultimate and reliable in which we can find stability and guidance. This authority, Thurman says, must be found deep within; therein lies our freedom, for without this inner authority, we will bow to the symbols of authority in our lives. Uncovering this authority requires the spiritual discipline of keeping track of ourselves, and the plans we have for our lives.
