Book Description<\/h2>\n

As with all Ryle\u2019s works, Practical Religion<\/em> is clear, concise and penetrating. It was designed to be a companion to his other books, Old Paths, Knots Untied and Holiness, providing guidance on how the Christian believer is to live. In Ryle\u2019s own words, it \u2018treats of the daily duties, dangers, experience, and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians.\u2019<\/p>\n

Far from advocating a works-based religion, these papers are all about how a Christian can practically respond to the grace that has been freely given to him in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ryle was a great enemy of hypocritical and nominal religion, or \u2018churchianity\u2019 as he called it. These articles remain a great plea for a real, heartfelt devotion to the Lord in love and service, founded on the great doctrines of Scripture.
\nNo Christian who reads any one of these papers will be left unaffected. \u2018Believer in Christ, remember this! Whatever you do in religion, do it well. Be real. Be thorough. Be honest. Be true.\u2019<\/p>\n
