Practical Religion (J. C. Ryle)
$29.00As with all Ryle’s works, Practical Religion is clear, concise and penetrating. It was designed to be a companion to his other books, Old Paths, Knots Untied and Holiness, providing guidance on how the Christian believer is to live. In Ryle’s own words, it ‘treats of the daily duties, dangers, experience, and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians.’
Far from advocating a works-based religion, these papers are all about how a Christian can practically respond to the grace that has been freely given to him in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ryle was a great enemy of hypocritical and nominal religion, or ‘churchianity’ as he called it. These articles remain a great plea for a real, heartfelt devotion to the Lord in love and service, founded on the great doctrines of Scripture.

J. C. Ryle: That Man of Granite With the Heart of A Child (Eric Russell)
$12.50Finally – a biography of J. C. Ryle! Imagine preparing for a successful career, only to have your plans all totally undermined and left feeling that you had only one option: the Christian ministry! – and to enter it reluctantly. Then imagine learning about the grace of God only afterwards, and God somehow making you useful and effective, to everyone’s surprise! Welcome to the strange and stirring story of J.C. Ryle, English pastor of the 19th century. “It is very good to have Ryle’s story told afresh by someone who understands it so well!” – J. I. Packer.
Ryle was born into a comfortable English family background. His father was a politician and businessman. Ryle was intelligent, a great sportsman (captain of cricket at Eton and Oxford) and was set for a career in his father’s business – then disaster struck! The father’s bank fails, taking all related businesses down with it. Ryle loses his job and his place in society in a moment. One moment, a popular man with great prospects in this world – the next moment, the son of a bankrupt father, with no trade or profession. So as a last resort, Ryle is ordained into the ministry of the church, simply for something to do for a living! Who could have thought that a man who entered the ministry in such an uninspiring way could be so used of God?

The Two Bears (J. C. Ryle)
$7.95Many Christian parents wish their children could sit under the weekly ministry of a pastor as faithful to the Word of God as J.C. Ryle. This devout minister was one of the most beloved figures of 19th-century England, and never was there a clearer or more gifted communicator of the truths of the Bible. Ryle used to bring an occasional sermon just for the little children of his church.
This is a collection of those sermons – delivered with an ease of style, so that the message still can’t be missed as your children read them today. Simple, but never shallow, Ryle takes a child by the hand and guides him into deep and great truths in ways that few adults know how to do today.

Old Paths (J. C. Ryle)
$29.00Subtitled, “Being Plain Statements on some of the Weightier Matters of Christianity.” Some of Ryle’s most persuasive expositions on the great themes of the gospel.
It was the prophet Jeremiah who first used the expression ‘old paths’ and assured those who followed those paths would find ‘rest for (their) souls’ (Jeremiah 6:16). J.C. Ryle was of the same conviction and wrote:
“The longer I live the more I am convinced that the world needs no new Gospel, as some profess to think. I am thoroughly persuaded that the world needs nothing but bold, full, unflinching teaching of the ‘old paths’”.

Five English Reformers (J. C. Ryle)
$10.75Few martyr’s words are as stirring as those of Bishop Hugh Latimer’s to Dr. Nicholas Ridley: “Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man. We shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”
