Ryle

J C Ryle (1816-1900) was a faithful evangelical Christian, a prolific writer and bishop of Liverpool. His books Holiness and Practical religion have never been out of print. This present book was originally entitled The Christian leaders of the Last Centu

J. C Ryle wrote this timeless classic on holiness over a hundred years ago, yet how poignant his words still are for us today. Sadly, we all know how easy it is to appear godly in public, while behind closed doors to continue in our own sin.
This modern

Ryle packs more experience and sanctified common sense into two dozen pages than many others manage in a lengthy treatise. And, like all of his work, this one illustrates the very simplicity he commends to others. Here indeed is a work whose value and use

Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots is perhaps J. C. Ryle’s best-known and, arguably, best-loved book. Although many things have changed since 1877, when this book was first published, one thing remains the same: ‘real practical holi

J.C. Ryle's handbook for young men, replete with warnings, exhortations, and instruction about this life's many trials, temptations, and common pitfalls. This book is a treasure.

To J. C. Ryle, the inspiration of the Scriptures was 'the very keel and foundation of Christianity'. But is all Scripture inspired? Are the very words and expressions from God, or does inspiration mean something less than this? Ryle was convinced that the

Can we be saved without any personal knowledge of the Bible's teaching?
Is it necessary to think clearly and precisely about such teaching?
Is God s love such that no one will ultimately suffer the everlasting loss of body and soul?
These are very impo

According to J C Ryle, private prayer is the most neglected of all Christian duties. That is most unfortunate because private prayer is the true measure of a Christian’s walk before God and ‘the pith and marrow of practical Christianity’. To bestir his re

As a pastor of the flock of God, Ryle seeks to guard Christ's sheep and to warn them of approaching dangers.

Enlivening every word and sentence, the writer s evangelistic zeal and tender pastoral concern compel the reader s attention. Few, surely, can fail to be stirred and instructed by these addresses which have an astonishingly contemporary ring.

This book, The Power and Sympathy of Christ, contains six studies on John chapter 11 one of the most remarkable chapters in all the New Testament. It deals with themes most useful and interesting to all professing believers.
Just like the rest of the hum

As with all Ryle’s works, Practical Religion is clear, concise and penetrating. It was designed to be a companion to his other books, Old Paths, Knots Untied and Holiness, providing guidance on how the Christian believer is to live. In Ryle’s own words,

No Christian who reads any one of these papers will be left unaffected. ‘Believer in Christ, remember this! Whatever you do in religion, do it well. Be real. Be thorough. Be honest. Be true.’

Being Plain Statements on Disputed Points in Religion from the Standpoint of an Evangelical Churchman

Although much has been written on the evangelical revival of the 18th century, J. C. Ryle’s Christian Leaders of the 18th Century remains the best popular introduction to this great spiritual era. With simplicity and vigour, he traces the lives of the ele

Ryle's Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: John 2

Bishop Ryle's Expository Thoughts on the Gospels were first issued in 1856 and immediately met with a warm welcome from evangelical Christians of all denominations. In the 20th century the growing popularity of Ryle's spiritual approach has led to three r

Written for the ordinary reader by the famous 19th century bishop and evangelist, this three-volume series is one of the classic expositions on the Synoptic Gospels. This volume covers the Gospel of St Luke.

It is no light matter to publish an exposition of any book in the Bible. It is a peculiarly serious undertaking to attempt a Commentary on the Gospel of St. John. But I think every intelligent student of Scripture will bear me out when I say, that St. Joh
