Many will know Bishop Ryle, who lived for most of the 19th century and became the first Bishop of Liverpool, through his books Expository Thoughts of the Gospels, Holiness and Practical Religion. These books are characterised by a resolute faithfulness to the trustworthiness of Scripture and an instinct for practical application. The same quality can be observed here in these carefully curated extracts from Ryle’s sermons.
Each day of the year has an extract for daily reading; it is a treasure trove to be savoured slowly. There are several things that strike me about this collection.
