Publisher Description

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 explains and applies his texts with his customary simplicity and directness, the listener will find his conscience pricked and his soul examined. Ryle addresses hard and trying subjects that most modern evangelicals have chosen to ignore: the power and depth of indwelling sin, the necessity of a holy life, the struggle and fight of faith, counting the cost of following Christ—and thats only in the first five chapters. Ryle’s Holiness has become essential reading on this most important subject, and the first chapter, “Sin,” has rarely been bettered.

"Human greatness is a lifetime endeavor. JC Ryle breaks down every possible point on which we can become more holy as earth bound creatures. I felt inspired by the beliefs of this simple man from the 1800's. He extends truth without shame and made me anxious to join him in his quest for holiness."

    " Fabulous, fabulous book. Ryle has a way of dealing with this issue so that I was convicted rather than feeling like he was judging from on high. "

    " Somewhat baptistic in his approach to holiness. But overall, a good butt-kickin' to get up and perform for Christ. "

    " It's a good book and you would do well to read it. He starts with sin against God, ends with Christ, and in the middle hammers on Holy Spirit driven holiness. "

    " This book on the Christian life is a must read. Bishop Ryle's books are pastoral, biblical, and of great value for us all. Another one for the desert island. BTW, Bishop Ryle had a very cool beard! My wife loves this book, think we've given at least two copies away. "

    " This was a great book calling us to a life of holiness rather than happiness. Within holiness we can find happiness, but we should have holiness as our chief goal. Very well written. "

    " An absolute must-read. Theological, doctrinal, devotional, pastoral, evangelistic. The last chapter-"Christ is All" is worth the price of admission alone. "
