Directory of the Devout Life

A bracing call to genuine Christianity in an age of comfortable belief. Meyer, a renowned British pastor and evangelist, refuses to let readers off the hook with mere profession of faith. He insists that Christ demands not verbal allegiance but transformed living a righteousness that surpasses the externals of religious observance and a perfection that mirrors God's own character. Drawing deeply from the Sermon on the Mount, Meyer reads these familiar words afresh, illuminating them with the light of Christ's cross and the power of the Holy Spirit. This is no abstract theology but a practical directory for cultivating a life where obedience flows from reconciliation, and where the fragrance of Christ becomes visible through ordinary days. Meyer writes with pastoral warmth yet unflinching challenge, urging readers past spiritual complacency toward the dangerous, demanding terrain of true discipleship. For those weary of religion that costs nothing, this book offers both conviction and pathway toward something far more costly and rewarding.
