Book Description
The Christian's Pattern is Wesley's excerpt of Thomas à Kempis's Imitatio Christi, itself probably the most commonly translated book aside from the Bible. Wesley produced four different editions of Kempis's work and considered it indispensable in achieving true religion of the heart. In The Christian's Pattern, a series of devotionals comprising four treatises on the trials of virtue and morality Christians face from the world as well as from within, there is much to contemplate. From practical advice regarding spiritual growth, to considerations of prayer and response, and even comfort for the soul in the light of God's love and grace, Wesley's publication contains all he felt most important for critical self-examination

Excerpt from An Extract of the Christian's Pattern, or a Treatise on the Imitation of Christ: Written in Latin by Thomas A Kempis I. As it is impossible for any one to know the usefulness of this treatise, till he has read it in such a manner as it deserves: instead of heap ing up commendations of it, which those who have so read it, do not want, and those who have not, will not believe, I have transcribed a few plain directions, how to read this (or indeed any other religious book) with improvement.

Vanity Fair and the Celestial City

Book Description
In John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, the pilgrims cannot reach the Celestial City without passing through Vanity Fair, where everything is bought and sold. In recent years there has been much analysis of commerce and consumption in Britain during the long eighteenth century, and of the dramatic expansion of popular publishing. Similarly, much has been written on the extraordinary effects of the evangelical revivals of the eighteenth century in Britain, Europe, and North America. But how did popular religious culture and the world of print interact? It is now known that religious works formed the greater part of the publishing market for most of the century. What religious books were read, and how? Who chose them? How did they get into people's hands? Vanity Fair and the Celestial City is the first book to answer these questions in detail. It explores the works written, edited, abridged, and promoted by evangelical dissenters, Methodists both Arminian and Calvinist, and Church of England evangelicals in the period 1720 to 1800. Isabel Rivers also looks back to earlier sources and forward to the continued republication of many of these works well into the nineteenth century. The first part is concerned with the publishing and distribution of religious books by commercial booksellers and not-for-profit religious societies, and the means by which readers obtained them and how they responded to what they read. The second part shows that some of the most important publications were new versions of earlier nonconformist, episcopalian, Roman Catholic, and North American works. The third part explores the main literary kinds, including annotated bibles, devotional guides, exemplary lives, and hymns. Building on many years' research into the religious literature of the period, Rivers discusses over two hundred writers and provides detailed case studies of popular and influential works.
