"Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?" - Mark 4:41Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained in these pages. Not because of the author's brilliance, but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of Mark. And just as the apostle Mark didn't draw any attention to himself, so also J. C. Ryle clearly and wonderfully directs his words and our thoughts towards the inspired words of scripture. If we truly love God, we will love His word; and the more study His word, the more we will love God.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. - Matthew 7:24Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained in these pages. Not because of the author's brilliance, but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of John. And just as the Apostle John didn't draw any attention to himself, so also J. C. Ryle clearly and wonderfully directs his words and our thoughts towards the inspired words of scripture. If we truly love God, we will love His word; and the more study His word, the more we will love God.

J. C. Ryle, accepted as one of the foremost Bible teachers of the last 200 years, turns his attention to the future. He investigates the nature of biblical prophecy, signs of the End Times, the Second Coming of Christ and the future state of the Church. He is careful not to push his interpretation of the texts, purposefully avoiding anything that can be called speculative or conjectural. Ryle analyses 8 passages and gives an 11–point summary of his prophetical creed.

This book contains two parts. The first is an updated and abriged version of Horatius Bonar’s book The Everlasting Righteousness, first published in 1874. Its central theme is the substitutionary work of Jesus Christ. Bonar shows that, in Jesus Christ, God has provided the only way to deal with the problem of our sin. Because Jesus is the perfect substitute, anyone who believes in him receives a legal pardon from God, and the perfect righteousness of Jesus becomes theirs. This truth has enormous consequences for believers, and Bonar explains some of them in this wonderful book. The second part is an updated version of Regeneration by J. C. Ryle, about the new birth. Ryle addresses what it means to be born again, and what it looks like in the life of a Christian.

This is a thoroughly biblical and practical guide to the Christian life. Ryle encourages us to see the reality of our present situation, the beauty of Christ, and to strive towards walking the way God shows us in his Word. This abridged and easier to read version of Practical Religion is sure to instruct, challenge and encourage Christians today.

J. C. Ryle's concise, commonsense guide to the raising of children has stood the test of time. He employs his deep understanding of scripture to distill the Bible's teaching on the duties of parents into seventeen powerful principles: 1. First, then, if you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go, and not in the way that they would.2. Train up your child with all tenderness, affection, and patience.3. Train your children with an abiding persuasion on your mind that much depends upon you.4. Train with this thought continually before your eyes -- that the soul of your child is the first thing to be considered.5. Train your child to a knowledge of the Bible.6. Train them to a habit of prayer.7. Train them to habits of diligence, and regularity about public means of grace.8. Train them to a habit of faith.9. Train them to a habit of obedience.10. Train them to a habit of always speaking the truth.11. Train them to a habit of always redeeming the time.12. Train them with a constant fear of overindulgence.13. Train them remembering continually how God trains His children.14. Train them remembering continually the influence of your own example.15. Train them remembering continually the power of sin.16. Train them remembering continually the promises of Scripture.17. Train them, lastly, with continual prayer for a blessing on all you do.

If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will prepare for battle? ( I Cor. 14:8) Here then is J. C Ryle's clear trumpet call presenting the key doctrines of the Christian faith: Another classic from Ryle. Chapters: Inspiration, Our Souls, Few Saved, Our Hope, Alive or Dead, Our Sins, Forgiveness, Justification, The Cross of Christ, The Holy Ghost, Having the Spirit, Conversion, The Heart, Christ's Invitation, Faith, Repentance, Christ's Power to Save, Perseverance. From the Introduction: Few, probably, will deny that there are some things in religion about which we may think other people hold very erroneous views, and are, notwithstanding, in no danger of being finally lost. About baptism and the Lord's Supper, about the Christian ministry, about forms of prayer and modes of worship, about the union of Church and State, about all these things it is commonly admitted that people may differ widely, and yet be finally saved. No doubt there are always bigots and extreme partisans, who are ready to excommunicate everyone who cannot pronounce their Shibboleth on the above-named points. But, speaking generally, to shut out of heaven all who disagree with us about these things, is to take up a position which most thoughtful Christians condemn as unscriptural, narrow, and uncharitable. On the other hand, there are certain great truths of which some knowledge, by common consent, appears essential to salvation. Such truths are the immortality of the soul, the sinfulness of human nature, the work of Christ for us as our Redeemer, the work of the Holy Ghost in us, forgiveness, justification, conversion, faith, repentance, the marks of a right heart, Christ's invitations, Christ's intercession, and the like. If truths like these are not absolutely necessary to salvation, it is difficult to understand how any truths whatever can be called necessary. If people may be saved without knowing anything about these truths, it appears to me that we may throw away our Bibles altogether, and proclaim that the Christian religion is of no use. From such a miserable conclusion I hope most people will shrink back with horror. To open out and explain these great necessary truths and to confirm them by Scripture, nis the simple object here.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. - John 1:1Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained in these pages.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other - Galatians 5:17Young men, you form a large and very important class in the population of this country; but where, and in what condition, are your souls? I am growing old myself, but there are few things that I can remember so well as the days of my youth. I have a most distinct recollection of the joys and the sorrows, the hopes and the fears, the temptations and the difficulties, the mistaken judgments and the misplaced affections, and the errors and the aspirations which surround and accompany a young man's life. If I can only say something to keep some young man walking in the right way and preserve him from faults and sins, which may hurt his prospects both for time and eternity, I shall be very thankful. There are four things which I propose to do: I will mention some general reasons why young men need exhorting. I will note some special dangers which young men need to be warned about. I will give some general advice which I beg young men to receive. I will set down some special rules of conduct which I strongly advise young men to follow. On each of these four points I have something to say, and my young friend, I pray to God that what I say may do good to your soul. - J. C. Ryle Updated edition based on Thoughts for Young Men
