by The Right Reverend Jeremy Taylor (Author)
""Holy Living and Dying with Prayers"" is a religious book written by the Right Reverend Jeremy Taylor. The book is divided into two parts: ""Holy Living"" and ""Holy Dying"". In the first part, Taylor discusses the principles and practices of leading a holy life as a Christian. He covers topics such as the importance of prayer, the virtues of humility and charity, and the dangers of sin. In the second part, he focuses on the process of dying and the preparation for death, including the importance of repentance and the hope of eternal life. The book also includes a collection of prayers that are meant to guide Christians through different situations and occasions, such as morning and evening prayers, prayers for the sick and dying, and prayers for forgiveness and thanksgiving. These prayers are designed to help Christians deepen their spiritual lives and connect with God in a more meaningful way. Overall, ""Holy Living and Dying with Prayers"" is a comprehensive guide for Christians seeking to live a holy life and prepare for death in a way that is grounded in faith and devotion.1883. Taylor was drawn into creating one body of those advices which the several necessities of many men must use at some time or other, and many of them daily; that by a collection of holy precepts they might less feel the want of personal and attending guides, and that the rules for conduct of souls might be committed to a book which they might always have; since they could not always have a prophet at their needs, nor be suffered to go up to the house of the Lord to inquire of the appointed oracles.
