Dont let anyone convince you that youre too young to serve God. Thats simply not true! As soon as you understand right from wrong, you are ready to choose the right path. The moment youre accountable for your actions, youre also ready to give your heart to God and follow Christ. Rev. Ryle speaks directly to children of all ages, using simple language to impart profound spiritual truths. He encourages even the youngest among us to embrace the teachings of Jesus and strive for a better life by following His example—lessons that resonate with adults, too. (Introduction by MaryAnn)

In a turbulent era for the Church of England, Ryle emerged as the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool, championing the evangelical movement while challenging the rise of Ritualism. A prolific writer, pastor, and dynamic preacher, Ryle authored notable works such as Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century (1869) and Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (1856–69). Renowned for his commanding presence and unwavering commitment to his beliefs, he conveyed his principles with both vigor and warmth. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of this remarkable figure. (Summary by Tim Cote)

As I share this new collection of hymns, I feel compelled to offer a few thoughts on its purpose. This volume is not intended to be a comprehensive anthology of the finest English hymns. Instead, my primary focus has been on providing comfort for the ailing and spiritual nourishment for Christians in their private moments. I firmly believe that profound thoughts often linger in our memories as poetry, while prose may fade away. The hymns included in this collection cover a wide array of themes, specifically chosen to resonate with the hearts of all true Christians, regardless of their ...

At a time when detailed commentaries were abundant, Ryle sought to provide a practical resource for everyday believers. His work serves as a guide for family prayers, a comforting companion for those visiting the sick, and a valuable tool for private devotions for those whose busy lives prevent them from engaging with larger commentaries. Ryle presents this first volume on the Gospel of St. Matthew with a heartfelt ...

John Charles Ryle’s best known works have been reissued and widely read over many years. The fine qualities of his writings have ensured that his books are still popular and useful. This volume has become a classic work and is known and loved by many throughout the world. In days when evangelical preachers are accused of being either superficial or dull, we have here a great example of one who was neither of these things. As Bishop Ryle applies his texts, the listener will find his soul examined.

Whoever neglects the second coming of Christ has only a mutilated gospel, for the Bible teaches us not only of the death and sufferings of Christ, but also of his return to reign in honor and glory. His second coming is referred to over 300 times. There is hardly any church that does not make a great deal of baptism, yet in all of Paul's epistles, baptism is spoken of only 13 times, while he speaks about the return of our Lord 50 times, and yet the church has had very little to say about it. The devil does not want us to see this truth, for nothing would wake up the church so much.

He who wants a correct understanding of holiness must first begin by examining the vast and solemn subject of sin. He must dig down very deep if he wants to build high. Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption. Practical holiness and entire self-consecration to God are not given adequate attention by modern Christians. The unsaved sometimes rightly complain that Christians are not as kind and unselfish and good-natured as those who make no profession of faith.

This "upper room," we should remember, was the forerunner of every church and cathedral which has been reared in Christendom within the last 18 centuries. St. Paul's, and York, and Lincoln, and all the stately ministers of our own land; St. Sophia at Constantinople, St. Isaac at St. Petersburg, St. Stephen's at Vienna, Notre Dame at Paris, St. Peter's at Rome, all are descendants from this "upper room." Not one can trace its pedigree beyond that little chamber. Here it was that professing Christians, when left alone by their master, first began to pray together, to worship.

"True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today.

Explore the profound insights of Old Paths, a compelling work that delves into the essential truths of Christianity. Drawing inspiration from the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah, who speaks of the old paths as the way to find rest for our souls (Jer 66), Bishop Ryle penned this book during a time when many in the church were abandoning traditional evangelical beliefs for more liberal ideologies. Ryle passionately defended the timeless doctrines upheld by the early Christians and reformers, which were increasingly dismissed as outdated. He firmly believed that the world does not need a new ...

Reflecting on the fourteen years since I embarked on the journey of exploring the Gospels, I sincerely hope these years have not been in vain. They have been filled with trials, extensive work, countless readings, deep reflections, and fervent prayers. With this volume, I am more convinced than ever that the so-called Evangelical views of Christian truth are profoundly rooted in Scripture and can withstand any fair examination. The longer I study, the more I believe that no theological system aligns so perfectly with the Bible as the one often referred to as Evangelical. I release this work ...

In Expository Thoughts, J. C. Ryle intricately divides the Gospels into manageable sections of about twelve verses, highlighting two or three key insights for readers to reflect upon.

This volume is the second of two on St. Luke, complementing previous works on St. Matthew and St. Mark. Ryles heartfelt intention was to promote pure and ...

With a deep sense of responsibility, I present this volume of commentary on the Gospel of St. John. This undertaking is not merely a supplement to the Expository Thoughts series; it is a comprehensive exploration that offers a thorough analysis of the text. In a time when doctrinal clarity is often overshadowed by vagueness, it is imperative for those who advocate for distinct and well-defined theology to demonstrate that their beliefs are solidly rooted in Scripture. I believe the Gospel of St. John, when rightly interpreted, serves as the clearest response to those who embrace a vague ...

In Expository Thoughts, J. C. Ryle thoughtfully dissects the Gospels, breaking them into manageable sections of about twelve verses each.

Ryles heartfelt prayer is that this work ...

In this final volume, I reflect on a journey that began sixteen years ago with the series Expository Thoughts on the Gospels. By the grace of God, this work is now complete, and for this, I am profoundly grateful. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, Better the end of a thing than the beginning of it (Eccles. vii. 8). With humble thankfulness, I present this effort to elucidate a remarkable portion of Gods revealed Scripture. I acknowledge my weaknesses in fully grasping even the simplest truths found within His word. I pray that God will bless this endeavor, forgive any shortcomings, and use it for ...

Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained in this audiobook. Not because of the author's brilliance, but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of Luke. And just as the Apostle Luke 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.

The reader will soon discover that I am an enthusiastic admirer of the men whose lives and ministries I have narrated in this volume. I confess it honestly. I am a thorough admirer of them. I firmly believe that, with the exceptions of Martin Luther and his contemporaries and our own martyred reformers, the world has not seen any such men since the days of the apostles. I now send forth this volume with an earnest prayer that God will pardon all its imperfections, use it for His own glory, and raise up in His church today men like those who are here described.
