J C Ryle was an evangelical Church of England minister of the 19th century who eventually became the first Bishop of Liverpool.<\/p>\n
During his life he became best known for writing tracts on a range of subjects. This book, first published in 1873, is a collection of nineteen such booklets. The common theme is the essential truths of the Christian faith – the old paths. The subjects covered include: Our Sins, Forgiveness, The Cross of Christ, Conversion, Faith and The Holy Spirit<\/p>\n
This book is a model of good communication and preaching. The language is simple. The sentences are short. The theology is biblical. The truth is applied in a simple and pointed way.<\/p>\n
There are only a few books that, in my opinion, every Christian should read and this is one of them. Buy it, read it and you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n
