    About the Author
    John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduated from Eton and Oxford and then pursued a career in politics, but due to lack of funds, he entered the clergy of the Church of England. He was a contemporary of Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller, and Taylor and read the great theologians like Wesley, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin, and Luther. These all influenced Ryle’s understanding and theology. Ryle began his writing career with a tract following the Great Yarmouth suspension bridge tragedy, where more than a hundred people drowned. He gained a reputation for straightforward preaching and evangelism. He travelled, preached, and wrote more than 300 pamphlets, tracts, and books, including Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, Principles for Churchmen, and Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century. Ryle used the royalties from his writing to pay his father’s debts, but he also felt indebted to that ruin for changing the direction of his life. He was recommended by Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to be Bishop of Liverpool where he ended his career in 1900.

      Stern, but much needed words. In a time where children are being targeted and desensitized, it is imperative upon us parents to give our children the foundation on which to stand on. This isn’t easy by any means, but the process is worth it. This was practical for application purposes. Though the process of helping our children deal with sin and heart issues is hard, there is great hope in what lies before us in the years to come. Be encouraged parents! Share this with friends and family!

    • 5/5
      Fantastic book, short and sweet. Loved having this as a new mum with a six week old Bub and struggling to hold a book to read! The author is wise, to the point, and deeply rebuking which is much appreciated in this day and age!

      I couldn't finish the book. The audio cuts off during chapter 16. Can only give 4 stars due to the audio.
