A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life is a Christian devotional book written by William Law. The book was first published in 1728 and has since become a classic in Christian literature. The book is written in the form of a series of letters to a young friend, urging him to live a life of devotion and holiness. Law argues that true Christianity is not just about believing in God, but also about living a life that is dedicated to Him. He emphasizes the importance of prayer, Bible study, and self-examination in developing a deep and meaningful relationship with God. Law also addresses the issue of worldly distractions and how they can hinder one's spiritual growth. Throughout the book, Law uses vivid and powerful language to convey his message, making the book both challenging and inspiring for readers. A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life is a timeless reminder of the importance of living a life that is centered on God and His will.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.
