In this concise book, author J.C. Ryle delves into five common dangers that he considered especially plaguing to the young men he observed. Pride, Love of Pleasure, Thoughtlessness, Contempt of Christianity, and Fear of Man’s Opinion are all specific perils that Ryle deals with in his direct yet pastoral style. Despite its original target of young men the precious truths and timeless advice drawn from Scripture are also very valuable to our young women as well. Ryle speaks in a very approachable and useful style that resonates today (perhaps even more so) as it did when first published. The problems that threaten young men are just as real and even stronger now than ever. We live in a modern world that is at war with the things of God and young people have very particular vulnerabilities. I would strongly encourage any man (or lady) young or old to read this as it will prove to be a tremendous help and encouragement.

Since its original publication over a century ago-- All of Grace has never been out of print. It is truly a Christian classic. This edition is newly typeset in a fresh modern typeface for the easy reading pleasure of the modern reader.

This is the inspiring true story of Elizabeth Wallbridge, a young woman who was born, lived and died in the village of Arreton, nearby the Parish of Brading on the Isle of Wight, England. Her family were of the poor hard-working class. Elizabeth lived an unremarkable life of a mostly worldly character. Though never immoral, she was by her own admission, a willful, proud, selfish and irreligious person. Her heart, however, was dramatically transformed by a sermon she heard at the age of 26 years old and as a result of God’s saving grace she became a very devout Christian lady. Gifted with exceptional intellect and memory, and because God would set her aside through frail health, she devoted her time and strength to mastering Christian classics and to the study of the Bible, becoming remarkably proficient. After a prolonged illness, she went to meet her Savior at only 31 years of age. During her illness, Reverend Legh Richmond, the Curate of Brading, and a religious writer of the period visited her often and the discussions they shared compelled him to write this now famous book.

The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century was a massive, sweeping historical movement that forever changed the world. It impacted everyone from peasant to king, from monk to the Pope. Any effort to understand the Reformation requires beginning with one man— Martin Luther. Luther, an ardent student, destined to become a lawyer until a fateful lightning storm drove him to pledge his life to the monastery, was a tortured soul. He desperately sought peace with God and forgiveness for his sins but spent years tormented by his failures despite his religious devotion. In Martin Luther: The Lion-Hearted Reformer you’ll find an easily-read, concise introduction to the life of the great Reformer. You’ll discover how Luther finally found the peace with God that so eluded his anxious soul. This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand this fascinating, larger-than-life historical figure. An excellent resource for students, grade-school to university and for those seeking to understand the history of the church.
