Book Synopsis
Originally published at the beginning of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment—a powerful, inspiring book that examines what it means to lead a Christian life that still speaks to our time. 

William Law''s A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life succeeded in inspiring the most cynical men of the age with its arguments in favor of a spiritual life. More than simply articulating a set of rules to live by, Law''s book examines what it means to lead a Christian life and criticizes the perversion of Christian tenents by the Establishment—whether secular or spiritual—whose real aim is temporal power. With a preface by the Reverend William Sloane Coffin, Jr., whose own direct engagement in social causes still finds inspiration in Law''s argument, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life is a book that can still speak to our time.
