Publisher Description
William Law’s classic book, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life was a clarion call to action; to live a life worthy of one’s calling. “Devotion signifies a life given, or devoted to God.” The writings of William Law were challenging in the 18thcentury. Generations later the message is even more instructive and necessary.

About William Law
William Law (1686–1761), English cleric and theological writer, was born at Kings Cliffe, Northamptonshire. The first of Law’s controversial works was “Three Letters to the Bishop of Bangor,” which was considered by friend and foe alike as one of the most powerful contributions to the Bangorian controversy on the high church side. Law’s next controversial work was Remarks on Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees, in which he vindicates morality on the highest grounds; for pure style, caustic wit, and lucid argument this work is remarkable; it was enthusiastically praised by John Sterling and republished by F. D. Maurice. Many of Law’s controversial writings have not received due recognition, partly because they were opposed to the drift of his times and partly because of his success in other fields.
About Maurice England
Maurice England moved to the Chicago area in the fall of 2006, after a twelve year run as a long-haul trucker, to continue the cultivation of his lifelong interest in the expressive arts and oral interpretation. A veteran audiophile, Maurice listened to well over one thousand audiobooks while on the road and fell in love with the genre. From his past experience in broadcasting, community theater, music performance, and ministry he saw narrating as a means to merge his love for books, ideas, learning, and spiritual evolution with his interest in artistic expression. While his narration experience has primarily been nonfiction, personal development, and spiritual-growth titles, Maurice anticipates using his authentically warm and folksy southern style to entertain and inspire through storytelling. Inspired most by the behind-the-scenes artists who engineer, direct, edit, and master the audiobook productions we hear, Maurice has become an absorbed student and participant in the process.
