Review by Austin Warren.

JamesBoswell | Nov 21, 2011 |

William Law's message can be summarized in a single question, If Christians could hold fast to the tenets of the Faith when professing it was dangerous, why are they lax now, when being a Christian is safe and easy? The rest, as the saying goes, is commentary.

Any Christian who does not read this book is shrinking from a severe challenge to his comfort and complacency. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0664248330, Paperback)

This devotional classic, written by William Law, an eloquent religious teacher of the eighteenth century, was designed to prod indifferent Christians into making an honest effort to live up to what they professed to believe. It has been appreciated in every succeeding generation because of its innate vigor and virility.
