William Law's classic puritanical work A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life is one of the most influential post-reformation spiritual books. However, he was later influenced by German Protestant mysticism, estranging many of his former disciples.In this engaging book, Israel and Broadbent examine William Law's place in Christian mysticism through some of his most illuminating writings. Great care has been taken to ensure that their original meaning remains unaltered and to show the continuing relevance of the wisdom and teaching of Law as he emerged from a shell of exclusiveness to an over-arching love.

Martin Israel, a doctor and pathologist, taught at the University of London at the Royal College of Surgeons, and is a priest in the Church of England.
"Martin Israel and Neil Broadbent have done us a great service in presenting the writings of William Law as they have . . . For those who will take the trouble to read and savour this, they will find gems of spiritual directness which cut across a multitude of words, and truths which are eternal . . . The book offers good presentation, spiritual clarity and a treasure-house of spiritual nourishment."
—The Christian Parapsychologist 15.2 (June 2002)
