What reading level is Characteristics of True Devotion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How can one be deceived upon so evident a truth ? Yet Chris- tendom is full of religious people who en- deavor to conciliate the interests of God with those of the world ; who pretend to unite in the same heart the love of God and the love of the world ; and who, wishing to serve both, really serve neither. We might say to them as the prophet Elijah said to the Israelites, " How long halt ye between two opinions ? if the Lord be God, serve him : if Baal, then serve him. " People think they do n...ot hold fast to the world because they have renounced every thing which is crimi- nal and evidently dangerous. They are no longer slaves to lust, which is the principal A 71 Undivided He a rt. 5 9 divinity of this world ; but they are still slaves to interest and false honor. On these two objects they follow the maxims reproved by the gospel, making wealth, nobihty, honor, and all that elevates or distinguishes us, the whole business of hfe ; loving and desiring these things for themselves and their chil- dren, and putting forth every effort to pre- serve them or to procure them.
