"A concise guide to the daily duties, experiences and dangers, privileges and responsibilities of professing Christians."

—Cyril J Barber, The Minister's Library

"A distillation of true Puritan theology presented in a highly readable and modern form."

—D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

By 'practical religion' Ryle does not mean 'a religion which works', for whoever practices it. He meant a religion which set those who professed it free to work - not so they might be saved but because they were. Practical Religion deals with 'the daily duties, dangers, experience and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians.'

Ryle is highly regarded for his plain and lively writings on practical and spiritual themes. Their usefulness and impact have been consistently recognized and remain as wise and relevant today as when he first wrote them.

About the Author
On May 10, 1816, John Charles Ryle was born to John And Susanna Ryle of Macclesfield, Cheshire County, England. He attended Eton College and then went on to the University of Oxford, finishing his Oxford studies in 1837.

In December 1841, Bishop Charles Sumner of Winchester ordained J. C Ryle as a minister in the Anglican Church, (Church of England). He was made Rector of the Church of St. Thomas in Winchester; from there he moved to the parish of Helmingham in Hampshire, serving three years; and then he served thirty-six years in Suffolk. In 1880, Ryle was named the First Bishop of the newly constituted diocese of Liverpool.

Throughout his ministry he became known and beloved as a defender of the evangelical reformed faith as expressed in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, of the Church of England.

Some of the best known titles written by Bishop Ryle are: Holiness, Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, Practical Religion, Warnings To the Churches, and Old Paths. In addition he published nearly 100 tracts.

In February, 1900, the at the age of 83, Ryle retired after many years of faithful ministry. Months later he went home to be the Lord on June 10, 1900.
