A compelling call for clergy to lead with lived faith instead of empty talk. This edition presents a sober, practical vision for pastoral work, inner conversion, and faithful use of the Prayer Book.
In these pages, the author argues that true improvement in society must begin with those who stand closest to the altar. The emphasis is on private happiness joined to public good, lived through prayer, self-examination, and self-denial. The text stresses clear, heartfelt preaching about conversion, while warning against mere emotional display or superficial repentance. It also defends the role of the Church’s formularies in guiding what salvation means and how faith is professed.
Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century Anglican pastoral practice, church discipline, and devotional reform.
