“There’s a reason we keep 'digging up’ Ryle. His writing is always clear (A 19th century man who writes short sentences!), driven (He’s always going after the jugular vein of your soul), and focused (He just can’t keep his eyes off Jesus).”

“Among the few authors a Christian wants as a lifelong friend and helper, J. C. Ryle is certainly one. After sixty years I still read him with the same relish!”

“Ryle was a single-minded Christian communicator of profound biblical, theological and pastoral wisdom, a man and minister of giant personal stature and electric force (unction was the old name for it).”

“An outstanding and beloved exponent of the evangelical and reformed faith.”

“A man of good scholarship, sterling character, wide sympathies, and tremendous zeal.”
