At the edge of life, faith speaks plainly. Piety Promoted gathers those utterances into a record of conviction and calm. These voices meet the dark. In this second volume, William Evans preserves a christian deathbed sayings collection drawn from the People Called Quakers, shaping a quaker devotional anthology of quaker spiritual dying sayings, testimonies, prayers, and recollections. The emphasis is not on drama, but on inward steadiness: last words and piety offered as historical religious testimonies. Read as reflections on christian death, the pieces hold a force for anyone curious about how ordinary believers faced illness, age, and the final passage. Each entry is brief, direct, and human, letting the cadence of plain speech carry the weight of belief. Taken together, they form a map of Quaker ethics: simplicity, patience, mercy, and the courage to speak truth kindly even amid personal loss. For Friends Church study resource use, it sits naturally beside quaker journals and memoirs; for preachers and writers, it offers sermon illustrations and quotes without straining for effect. Rooted in the early quaker movement of 17th century England, and close in spirit to George Fox related reading, this book is a small archive of lived theology, where doctrine becomes bedside practice. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure for shelves devoted to Quaker history, devotional classics, and enduring accounts of faith at the end of life.
