William Law’s A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life is a timeless spiritual classic urging Christians to embrace a life wholly dedicated to God. Although written by an Anglican divine in the 18th century, the book’s call to authentic holiness resonates deeply with Catholic spirituality.

Law’s eloquent prose challenges complacency and insists that faith must be lived out in every detail of daily life — in prayer, charity, humility, and the pursuit of virtue. From a Catholic perspective, this work aligns beautifully with the Church’s teachings on sanctification and the universal call to holiness, echoing themes found in the writings of the saints and spiritual masters.

It’s a compelling reminder that holiness is not reserved for the cloister but is the vocation of every baptized Christian. Description 

First published in 1729, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life by William Law has been praised by saints and spiritual leaders for its passionate plea for authentic Christian living. In this spiritual masterpiece, Law dismantles lukewarm religiosity and invites readers to embrace prayer, self-denial, and works of mercy as the natural fruit of a genuine relationship with God.

While Law wrote as an Anglican, his exhortations closely parallel Catholic teaching on the necessity of grace, the transformative power of virtue, and the call to live each moment for God’s glory. This audiobook is a powerful resource for anyone seeking deeper conversion, a stronger prayer life, and practical guidance on walking the narrow path of holiness in the modern world.
