About This Book

The work offers a practical, nonsectarian guide to recognizing and nurturing spiritual life. It is organized in three parts: signs of a weakened yet genuine piety; indications of mature, vigorous piety; and concrete means for preserving and increasing holiness. Attention is given to inward communion with God, ethical conduct and relationships with others, and the value of private devotion. Written in a plain, pastoral tone, it aims to help readers discern assurance of spiritual health while guarding against misunderstanding or self-deception.

About the Author

Williams, Roger portrait

Roger Williams

Roger Williams was a 17th-century English theologian, author, and founder of the Rhode Island colony. He is best known for his advocacy of religious freedom and the separation of church and state, principles that were revolutionary for his time. His notable works include "A Key Into the Language of America," which provides insights into the Native American languages and cultures, and "The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience," where he argues against religious persecution. Williams's writings reflect his deep commitment to individual liberty and the importance of conscience in matters of faith.
