"If we are going to reproduce Christ on earth and be Christlike, we must have the spirit of Christ." — A.W. Tozer

Are you serious about leading a devout and holy life?

William Law says that God doesn't simply forgive the sins of disobedience you committed as a sinner, He now calls you to a life of obedience that is completely centered in Him. Law wrote, "If you will stop here and ask yourself why you are not as pios as the primitive Christians were, your own heart will tell you that it is neither through ignorance nor inability, but because you never thoroughly intended it."

In twenty-four clear and concise chapters — each beginning with a simple spiritual rule, observation, or proposition, Law leads you deep into the high calling of God that the Apostle Paul said he was pressing toward (Philippians 3:14). Edward Gibbon, author of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, wrote, "If Mr. Law finds a spark of piety in a reader's mind, he will soon kindle it into a flame."

John Wesley, George Whitefield, William Wilberforce — each stated that reading this book was a major turning point in his spiritual life. If you are a serious Christian, you will not be the same at the end of this book as you were at the beginning. You will be far along the path to God that only the devout and holy travel.

A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life is William Law's most popular and enduring work. Written in 1728, it is a classic of Christian literature, and should be a part of every Christian's library.
