About This Book

The collection assembles sermons, excerpts, dialogues, and devotional treatises focused on cultivating inward Christian life and practical holiness. It includes extended extracts on the spirit of prayer and spirit of love, a sequence of dialogues between figures named Academicus, Rusticus, Theophilus, and Humanus, letters and an address to clergy, and a two-book treatise on imitation of Christ and the inward life. Chapters offer guidance on humility, prayerful meditation, contempt of worldly vanities, prudence, scripture reading, solitude, compunction, meditation on death, bearing with others, and zealous moral reform. The overall aim is to direct readers from external observance toward persistent inward communion with God and transformed conduct.
