by John Clayton (Author), Henry Mead (Author)
The Snares of Prosperity is a sermon written by John Clayton in 1789. The book is a cautionary tale about the dangers of becoming too attached to material wealth and prosperity. Clayton argues that the pursuit of wealth can lead to moral corruption and spiritual emptiness, and that true happiness and fulfillment can only be found in a life of virtue and service to others.In addition to the sermon, the book also includes an essay on the importance of visiting others. Clayton argues that visiting the sick, the poor, and the lonely is a moral obligation for all Christians, and that it is through these acts of kindness and compassion that we can truly live out our faith.Overall, The Snares of Prosperity is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to examine their own priorities and values, and to consider the true meaning of happiness and fulfillment in life.Also Contains A Charge Delivered At A Late Ordination, In London; God�������s Goodness, The Joy And Wonder Of His People, A Sermon; An Address Delivered At The Interment Of Miss Matilda Twait.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
