J. C. Ryle
("The man of granite, with the heart of a child." 1816 - 1900)"My chief desire in all my writings, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him beautiful and glorious in the eyes of men; and to promote the increase of repentance, faith, and holiness upon earth."
The Duties of Parents
The Gospel of MATTHEW
Martyn Lloyd-Jones described Ryle's writings as "a distillation of true Puritan theology presented in a highly readable and modern form.""I am bold to say that perhaps few men in the nineteenth century did so much for God, for truth, for righteousness, among the English speaking race and in the world as Ryle." – Richard Hobson
Ryle's writings on the Gospels are considered the best practical, devotional, and Christ-centered commentaries EVER written!
