By contrast, this book-which draws on little-known unsigned sermons he wrote for hire for clergy friends, his private prayers and devotions, essays, poems, diaries, letters, and even key definitions from the Dictionary-offers a rare opportunity to discover Johnson's rich insight and consoling spirituality gathered in one place. Boswell observed that \"He was a sincere and zealous Christian . He was steady and inflexible in maintaining the obligations of religion and morality; both from a regard for the order of society, and from a veneration for the Great Source of all order.\" This Vintage Spiritual Classics Original opens a window on the moral universe of the leading English writer of the eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samuel Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Fair","offer_id":46144504987891,"sku":"8880002526515","price":9.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780375725678.jpg?v=1725013105","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-supplicating-voice-samuel-johnson-9780375725678","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
