“Do you call yourself a Christian? Are you a Christian in actual fact? Do you live as a Christian should live, that is, do you fervently desire and earnestly seek after that which a true Christian desires and seeks after? [...]So that you will be able to more quickly get started, I offer instructions for one day. If you faithfully follow these instructions, you will see that you will need no other instructions. You should pass every subsequent day just as you did the first one.” —“Appeal to the Christian”
