Publisher's summary

Speaker and writer J. C. Ryle once said, "The man who hears the word of God and does it is the true Christian. He hears the call of God to repent and be converted, and he obeys it. He ceases to do evil and learns to do well. He puts off the old man and puts on the new. He hears the call of God to believe in Jesus Christ for justification, and he obeys it."

In The True Christian, Ryle details many more ways in which Christians can be uncompromising in their biblical principles.

a new favorite!

you can't ever go wrong with Ryle... but this book was still such a surprise! covering so much truth, so much doctrine... in typical, simple, Ryle-ease bluntness. not a believer? hear the pleading for the truth. a new believer? hear the knowledge that will ground you and set a firm foundation. mature saint? listen regularly to remember promises that help us run the race set before us 💜

Timeless Truths

Clearly distinguished true followers of Christ from pretenders or nonbelievers. Encouraged to examine ourselves to determine if we are truly in the faith. Both encouraging and convicting.

Quality Material

JC Ryle is a very engaging preacher and has a timeless message we need to continue to hear. The last chapter on assurance is a most. Also there was a good message about how we have forgiveness now.

Divine Truths clearly expressed

Simply expressed, but nonetheless this does not weaken the power of the messages in these series of sermons. The listener is confronted, challenged and made to think deeply of the most important matters in life and it is timeless in its application. Highly recommended for believers looking for a deeper understanding and assurance and the genuine seeker. The reader is well matched to the content. Overall: excellent.

What a wonderful book

Very much recommend for everyone to listen these simple truths about Christian life.

I enjoyed these texts so much that I even bought this book to myself. Unfortunately there wasn't any paper books available but a CD with mp3 files.
