Publisher Description
The classic work by William Law exhorting Christians to the necessity of a holy life. Law writes in a very accessible style, following the lives of various characters and how holiness affects their daily living. A powerful and provocative work!
John Wesley stated that ‘A Serious Call To A Devout And Holy Life' was "a treatise which will hardly be excelled, if it be equalled, either for beauty of expression or for depth of thought."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
William Law, the 18th-century Anglican priest who heavily influenced the theology of John and Charles Wesley, lambastes pious hypocrisy and the corruption of the church in A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life, the latest reissue in Vintage' s Spiritual Classics series. Law' s prose is fresh and vivid as he illustrates the holy Christian life as one lived wholly for God. His thoughts on prayer, personal holiness and service to the poor will resonate with many contemporary readers.
