In this book Ryle casts light on milestones long forgotten by his generation. When was the Gospel first preached in the English tongue? Who was the first man to translate the entire Bible into English? Why were men, women, and children burned alive? How did Mary Tudor earn the unhappy name "Bloody Mary"? Whose evil policies forced thousands of seventeenth-century pilgrims to seek refuge in America? Drawing from his classical education, Ryle answers these questions by tracing the English Reformation as it was seen through the eyes of those who reformed the Church. Well schooled in the Fathers who kept the faith, he instructs their childrens children who will inherit that faith. He brings focus and clarity to the epochs which forever changed the destiny of the English speaking peoples. 
 With his typical eloquence he lays bare the plain truth for all to see. While some pages are filled with the fragrant aroma of Gods grace, others reek with the stench of burning fleshbut all are Ryle at his bestgracious, forceful, judicious, and honest. "Light From Old Times" illuminates the ancient paths. Like points on a compass, the lives sketched in this volume and the doctrines uncovered by it guide us toward the true Gospelthe one worth living forand the one worth dying for.

Light From Old Times

History

Ryle, John Charles

World

Charles Nolan Publishing

At the beginning of each Lord's Day service at Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, Pastor Douglas Wilson delivers an exhortation, or "call to worship." Clear, pointed, and direct, those calls have been as much appreciated as the sermons that follow them . . . and they are now available in print. Categorized by subject, the themes of these exhortations range from "Armies of the Living God" and "The Brethren," to "Reformation" and "Sin." With 153 separate calls, few subjects are missed, and even fewer words minced. Beautifully formatted, each chapter begins with a prayer of adoration and ends with a prayer of confession.

Exhortations : A Call to Maturity in Worship

Religion & Spirituality

Wilson, Douglas

Worship & Devotion

With his trademark candor, J.C. Ryle strips away the gaudy ornamentation that many confuse for holiness, and systematically unfolds the true beauty of what it means to adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. Deep, rich, and penetrating, this timeless classic is quite simply profound. And this edition-the first unabridged edition in decades, if not since the original-includes a foreword by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones and an exhaustive index of Scripture.

Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, & Roots

Ryle, J.C.

Christian Books & Bibles

For J.C. Ryle (1816–1900) the question Shall We Know One Another? was a heartfelt inquiry of one who buried three wives. His first wife, Matilda, died after less than two years marriage, when he was thirty-one. Two-and-a-half years later, he married his second wife, Jessie, only to lay her in the grave within ten years. His third wife, Henrietta, died after twenty-seven years of holy matrimony, when he was seventy-two. Well could he write, “The closest relation on earth—the marriage bond—has an end.” 
The Other Papers of this volume reveal both the narrow lens and broad scope of a biblical worldview. From planet Earth to Christian contentment, and from Nero’s household to words for women, a wide spectrum is considered—all grounded in holy Scripture—all centered in Christ.

Shall We Know One Another and Other Papers

“When God puts special honour on any of His servants, it is well to analyze their gifts, and to observe carefully what they were.... Records like these are deeply instructive.” In this volume, J.C. Ryle examines the lives & ministries of George Whitefield, John Wesley, Daniel Rowlands, Augustus Toplady, and other giants, drawing very definite conclusions: “I am bold to say that we want nothing new....We want nothing but the old truths rightly preached and rightly brought home to consciences, minds, and wills.” Hardcover, volume II of the collected works.

The Christian Leaders of the Last Century

In 1900, shortly after J.C. Ryle resigned his bishopric, and just three months before his death, these 24 sermons were gathered together as a tribute to Ryle’s 60 year ministry. And they no doubt prove Ryle’s axiom, “If you want to heat a church, put a stove in the pulpit.” Hardcover, vol. III of the collected works.

The Christian Race and Other Sermons Vol.3

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.
