A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life is a Christian devotional book written by William Law, a prominent Anglican priest and theologian, in 1728. The book is a call to live a life of devotion and holiness, and it emphasizes the importance of personal piety, prayer, and obedience to God's will. Law argues that the Christian life should be characterized by a deep sense of reverence and awe for God, and that true holiness requires a complete surrender of one's will to God's purposes. The book is divided into 21 chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Christian life, including humility, self-denial, prayer, and the pursuit of virtue. Law's writing is characterized by its clarity and simplicity, and his arguments are grounded in scripture and the teachings of the early church fathers. A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life has been widely read and influential in Christian circles for over 250 years, and it remains a powerful call to live a life of faith and devotion today.William Law was a kind and gentle soul who clearly perceived the mystic oneness of all existences. His writings should be read by any mystic. More than simply articulating a set of rules to live by A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life examines what it means to lead a Christian life and criticizes the perversion of Christian tenants by the Establishment, whether secular or spiritual-whose real aim is temporal power.
