William Law (1686-1761) is one of the great theologians forgotten by Spanish-speaking evangelicals in the 21st century. Although more than 250 years have passed since his death, William Law's writings continue to be published in many languages and are helpful to the church in the turbulent times we live in today.
The book the reader now holds is addressed to Christians, and as the title itself indicates: "a serious call to a devout and holy life" is a call to live with sincerity and consistency based on the new life we have in Christ. The author reminds us that we live in an age where modesty, sobriety, and a life of piety tend to be ignored. We Christians should not conform and only desire the things this world can offer. We must have a different perspective on the importance of living for God. This work is recommended for every Christian looking for a resource on living a life of devotion to God. William Law provides many thoughts on this subject and gives us several practical ways to live a life of devotion.
The objective of the Library of Christian Classics, edited by Abba, is to recover and make available to Hispanic people the wisdom that God gave to our ancestors in the faith. Many of them are published for the first time in Spanish, and others are recovered and completely revised for a better understanding in the 21st century.
