Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke Vol. 1 (J. C. Ryle)
$25.00Ryle’s commentary on Luke was was a much more ‘substantial’ commentary than the earlier ones on Matthew and Mark, and comprehensive ‘explanatory notes’ were appended to the author’s ‘thoughts’ on each passage of Scripture. The purpose of the notes was four-fold:
1st, to ‘throw light on difficulties’ in the text
2nd, to provide literal meanings and comparative translations of certain of the Greek words used by Luke.
3rd, to quote what other ‘approved writers’ had said on particular passages.
4th, to use Scripture to ‘combat existing false doctrines and heresies’. Because of this, the Expository Thoughts on Luke were – and are in this new edition – presented in two volumes, the first covering Luke chapters 1-10, the second chapters 11-24. -

Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots (J. C. Ryle)
$29.00“This book is simply the best of Ryle, the Puritan-type pastor. Real Christians will find it a gold mine, a feast, a spur and a heart-warmer, food, drink, medicine, and a course of vitamins, all in one.” — J. I. Packer
Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots is perhaps J. C. Ryle’s best-known and best-loved book. Although many things have changed since 1877, when it was first published, one thing remains the same: ‘real practical holiness does not receive the attention it deserves.’ It was to remedy this and to counter false teaching on this most important subject, that Ryle took up his pen.
The 21 chapters in this enlarged edition highlight:
- the real nature of holiness
- the temptations and difficulties which all must expect who pursue it
- the life-transforming truth that union with Christ is the root of holiness
- the immense encouragement Jesus Christ holds out to all who strive to be holy.
Holiness, as with all of Ryle’s works, is clear and concise, penetrating and practical.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospel of Mark
Volume 2 of the 7-Volume Series: Mark
First published in 1857, Mark was the second book to appear in J. C. Ryle’s series of Expository Thoughts on the Gospels.
The earliest of the Gospel narratives to be written, Mark, says Ryle, ‘is singularly full of precious facts about the Lord Jesus, narrated in a simple, terse, pithy, and condensed style’. Those last four adjectives could well be used to describe Ryle’s own comments on the Gospel!
In one of the occasional explanatory notes, he quotes the following remarks of Rudolf Stier:
These Expository Thoughts on Mark do full justice to such an inspired text and are full of encouragement, wisdom, and straightforward practical application. May they continue to fulfill Ryle’s desire to lead the reader ‘to Christ and faith in him, to repentance and holiness, to the Bible and to prayer’.
