Beschreibung

In "The Practice of Piety," Lewis Bayly offers a profound exploration of the Christian life through practical devotional guidance. Written in the early 17th century, this seminal work reflects the Puritan emphasis on piety and personal holiness, serving as a companion to daily life and spiritual growth. Bayly employs a didactic tone, employing relatable analogies and simple language that encourages introspection and the establishment of a closer relationship with God. His systematic approach provides readers with a varied set of practices'Äîfrom prayer and meditation to ethical living'Äîunderscoring the importance of internalized faith in a period marked by religious turmoil. Lewis Bayly was an English clergyman and a prominent theologian of his time, whose pastoral experience and commitment to the Protestant Reformation deeply informed his writing. His insights into piety stem from a lived understanding of the challenges faced by believers, particularly during the era's societal conflicts and shifting spiritual landscapes. This background imbues the text with authenticity, as it resonates with the spiritual quests faced by ordinary people seeking solace and direction in their faith. "The Practice of Piety" is a timeless treasure that offers valuable encouragement for modern readers seeking to cultivate a deeper spiritual life. It lays a practical foundation for daily devotion, enriching both personal reflection and communal worship. Whether you are a seasoned believer or just beginning your spiritual journey, Bayly's work serves as an essential guide toward fulfilling your spiritual obligations and nurturing a devoted heart.

    One final cry of terror, and suddenly her world shifted violently, until a blinding collision scattered her mind and shook her bones. Then, the pain. The freezing water. And as all sensation drifted away, a hand reached for hers before all faded into darkness. . . .  
     
    In the midst of a fierce storm, a carriage carrying Sir John Mayfield, Lady Marianna Mayfield, and her lady's companion careens off a narrow cliff road, changing their fates forever. When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.  
     
    In this revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of Julie Klassen's acclaimed novel, a woman's startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England.
