Inhaltsangabe

What does it truly mean to live a life wholly devoted to God?

A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life by William Law is a timeless spiritual classic that speaks with uncommon clarity to anyone seeking a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. First published in 1729, this enduring masterpiece challenges readers to move beyond routine religious practice and instead embrace genuine, daily devotion rooted in discipline, humility, and love for God.

Written during Law’s years in retirement—after losing his post at Cambridge due to his refusal to swear allegiance to King George I—this work reflects his profound mystical insight and commitment to Christian holiness. Drawing from earlier spiritual writers like Thomas à Kempis and Johann Tauler, Law offers a clear and compelling guide to cultivating the inner life of prayer, meditation, and virtue.

In this book, readers will discover:

• The importance of daily devotion and practical holiness

• A deep critique of lukewarm religion and worldly distractions

• Clear guidance on living each moment for God’s glory

• Spiritual principles that still challenge and inspire today’s Christians

A Serious Call has shaped the faith of great thinkers such as John Wesley, Charles Wesley, and Dr. Samuel Johnson, and remains a recommended text in seminaries and spiritual formation programs around the world.

If you're longing for a deeper spiritual life—one marked by sincerity, discipline, and love for God—this book will call you to nothing less than transformation.
