Holiness (Abridged) - J C Ryle
Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots
Now with a new foreword by John MacArthur.
J.C. Ryle's Holiness has imparted a standing challenge to Christians for 130 years. In this new, slimmed-down series of excerpts from Ryle's masterwork, we aim to present his original message to a whole new generation. Holiness, Ryle argued, was not simply a matter of believing and feeling, but of doing.
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900), the first Bishop of Liverpool. Ryle was a strong supporter of the evangelical school and a critic of Ritualism. He was a writer, pastor and an evangelical preacher. "Ryle, like his great masters, has no easy way to holiness to offer us, and no “patent” method by which it can be attained; but he invariably produces that “hunger and thirst after righteousness” which is the only indispensable condition to being “filled.” May this book be widely read, that God’s name be increasingly honoured and glorified."...D. M. Lloyd-Jones, Westminster Chapel, London. Holiness has been inspiration for living a Christian life for over a century. This is an essential read for believers looking for instructions on how to improve their lifestyle and continue the process of sanctification
