The Classic New Testament Commentary: Matthew

HarperCollins Publishers, 1989

Solid food for the soul.
J. C. Ryle's Expository Thoughts on the Gospels is solidly Evangelical and Biblical. The expositions are short, and easy to read in a devotional setting. In Ryle's own words, "In each Exposition I have generally begun by stating as briefly as possible the main scope and purpose of the passage under consideration. I have then selected two, three, or four prominent points in the passage, singled ...

Practical Religion

Proper Theology = Proper Living
There is quite the movement in today's evangelical circles to the idea of "practical theology." Living what you believe, or 'walking the walk, if you will. What this movement sorely misses however is that to "live what you believe," you must KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE! Ryle deftly walks the line between Systematic and Practical theologies, constantly forcing the reader to stop and examine his/her ...

Christian Leaders of the 18th Century

Banner of Truth, 1978

A CLASSIC!
Ryle, though a true doctrinaire Calvinist, was a great Christian writer, soul-winner and preacher who really excelled in the area of historical portraiture. This book is a classic. The biographies of Whitefield, Wesley (an Arminian ungrudgingly given his due as a great preacher of the Word) and Rowlands are truly profound and uplifting. Space is actually wasted, though, on Augustus Toplapy, ...

Persevering against the Odds
"I only know it is far easier to be a Christian among singing, praying, sympathizing Christians in a public room, than to be a consistent Christian in a quiet, retired, out-of-the-way, uncongenial home." As the other reviewers have said, this is an appreciation and should be read sa such. Appreciation or no, Packer reaveals the facts and this makes Ryle enjoyable to read about. Ryle was a man ...

Knots Untied (Complete Works of J.C. Ryle)

Charles Nolan Publishing, 2000

The Perfect Book for the Serious Anglican
"Knots Untied" is the perfect book for the serious Anglican Christian. Written by the first Bishop of Liverpool, J.C. Ryle, this work is a veritable treasure for the Anglican who is looking for theological red meat. Ryle lived in time much like our own. A time when "new teachings" were disrupting the Church of England...just as "new teachings" by various Anglican leaders are disrupting ...

A call to prayer

American Tract Society, 1867

Challenging, encouraging - great read!
A most outstanding book and excellent read. Ryle was the Bishop of Liverpool in the late 1700s and his writing is alive with the Word of God and the intensity of the Puritans. This little salvo is a challenge to all to pray - to those who don't know the Lord to cry out for God's mercy and redemption and for those who do to cry out for God's continued hand of protection and provision in their ...

A "forgotten" part of church history
J. C. Ryle did a real service for the Christian church when he first wrote "Light From Old Times". This hard copy edition from Charles Nolan Publishing makes that Ryle classic available once again to a church that needs so desperatly to remember the lessons of history. "Light from Old Times" sheds light on a time of church history that is not as well known as it should be. Who were the ...

Triangle Press, 1993

Excellent!!
This book not only gives you helpful advice on how to raise your children, but it also helps expose where we may become lazy as parents. It shows how we can love our children without spoiling them. It's a book you'll want to read over and over again. It's very short and to the point and easy to comprehend.

Holiness

J.C. Ryle

Evangelical Press, 1977

A must read for the devoted Christian
Holiness, by J. C. Ryle is the best book on Christian living I have read to date. In an age of easy-believism that talks of a gospel free from a commitment to God, this book shows what it takes to have a satisfying and saving relationship with Christ in the way that the Scriptures teach. As the work of sancitification is largely ignored on the bookshelves of Christian libraries, this is a much ...

J. C. Ryle

James Clarke, 1977

Holiness-Immensely Vital
The author writes out of several concerns that were very prevalent in his day and are just as much a concern for this generation of Christians.The first concern being to maintain a clear distinction between justifying grace and sanctifying grace.That faith which justifies a person rests on the person and finished work of Christ,whereas sanctifying faith is a grace which is active throughout the ...

Are You Ready for the End of Time

Ryle, J.c.

Christian Focus, 2002

The Night is Nearly Over and The Day is Almost Here
Except for the dispensational theology, of which I believe Ryle is mistaken when interpreting who "Israel" are in both the Old Testament prophecies and Romans 11, his eschatology is a dynamite. The doctrine of the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ is indispensably crucial yet sadly often avoided or neglected for at least two reasons; the difficulties associated with the mysteries surrounding ...

R. Carter, 1872

Gets better with age
John Charles Ryle was a rare man - an evangelical Bishop of the Church of England in England in the last half of the 19th Century. Disrali made him Bishop of Liverpool as a last act of defiance as British Prime Minister. Ryle was an amazing man whose many books are continually being republished for the next generation. His Expository Thoughts on the Gospels are all the work of a first rate ...

ASSOCIATED PUBLISHERS & AUTHORS INC., DELAWARE, 1000

Why Christians feel the lack of assurance ?
I have read this book about 2 years ago and about to read it again. J.C. Ryle's book on holiness has tackled one of the most evaded issues of all time, that is SIN. On how the grieviousness of sin has been diminished even by Christians. He cautioned about Christianity that teaches a bit about Christ, something about grace, something about faith, something about repentance, and something about ...

Robert Carter & Brothers, 1882

Every preacher should own this set
The Bishop JC Ryle probably wrote these expository thoughts over a 100 years ago. But his comments on the text are timeless and very practical. He has a wonderful gift of being able to glean the messages and the points in each scripture. And he is a master at applying the scriptures to comtemporary life. Having said that, like all other expositions of holy writ, you need to use Ryle's work ...

The Glory of Heaven: The Truth about Heaven, Angels and Eternal Life

John MacArthur

Crossway Books, 1998

Heaven According to the Bible
The excellence of "The Glory of Heaven" is that it dispels error and explains truth without going beyond scripture, without crossing over into speculation as other writers on this topic do. In addition to using scripture to rebut popular New Age ideas about the afterlife, MacArthur utterly demolishes Christendom's false notions, like soul sleep (no immediate presence with God) and purgatory ...

Christianity Demonstrated
Practical Religion is a classic book on Christian living by one of the finest Christian authors of the 19th century J.C.Ryle.Anyone that is familiar with any of his books should no doubt be acutely aware of the unction that is present in his published works. A couple of things that sets apart the finer older Christian books from much of current Christian literature are the searching aspect and ...

The Doctrine of Salvation Clearly Illustrated
The truth of the Gospel and tenets of Biblical Christianity illustrated as I've never seen written nor heard preached in my lifetime. The author's concern for the state of men's eternal souls is palpable. Sound, Biblical exposition. Solid spiritual meat to satisfy the hungry seekers soul. A bright light under which to "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;..." (2 Corinthians ...

Wonderful!
This is truly a wonderful book for young children. JC Ryle has a wonderful way of speaking to children and reaching their heart for Christ. I wish I could find more books of this caliber for my children. I would recommend this book for all children up to about 11 years old.
