About this book

Godliness, by Catherine Mumford Booth, ignites a call to earnest faith through a collection of stirring addresses delivered at James’s Hall, London, during 1881. These reported sermons—prefaced by Daniel Steele, D.D.—capture Booth’s decisive voice for holiness, practical piety, and aggressive Christianity as responses to the moral and social challenges of Victorian London. A blend of devotional exhortation and prophetic urgency, the talks emphasize personal consecration, public witness, and compassionate outreach. Written as extemporaneous addresses, they retain the immediacy of live preaching while offering thoughtful reflections on repentance, prayer, and the Christian’s role in society. Set against the rise of the Salvation Army and late-19th-century revival movements, the volume reveals how faith and social reform were intertwined in the era’s religious landscape. Ideal for listeners of Religion and historical Christianity, this audiobook will resonate with seekers of deeper devotion, students of evangelical history, and anyone inspired by passionate, biblically grounded preaching. Hear Catherine Booth’s clarion call to godliness—an invigorating, practical guide to living faithfully in turbulent times.
