“What the preacher is in the pulpit, the same the Christian householder is in his house.â€
The Practice of Piety is Lewis Bayly's guide to living a more pious life. Inside he gives us a series of meditations on personal growth in God's Grace. He offers meditations for the sick, the dying, fear and ways to begin the day. "Now let us see how happy a godly man is in his state of renovation, being reconciled to God in Christ. "The godly man whose corrupt nature is renewed by grace in Christ and become a new creature, is blessed in a threefold respect-First, in his life; Secondly, in his death; Thirdly, after death.â€
