    J. C. Ryle Sermons to Children: Seven Biblical Lessons for Children

    I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. – Proverbs 8:17 Children, I am going to talk to you about Jesus Christ and your souls. I want to make you happy, but I know that people are never really happy unless their souls are happy – and I am sure that people’s souls cannot be truly happy unless they love Jesus Christ. That is the reason I am going to write to you now. I want to tell you something about Jesus Christ and your souls. Dear children, I hope you will all pay close attention. I pray that the Spirit of God will come into your hearts and make you able to do so. Try to listen to me. Try to understand what I say. Try to remember and carry away something in your minds. I hope to do you all a great deal of good.– J. C. Ryle In this compilation of seven sermons to children, J. C. Ryle tells captivating stories from the Bible with easy-to-understand application for children. About the AuthorJohn Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduated from Eton and Oxford and then pursued a career in politics, but due to lack of funds, he entered the clergy of the Church of England. He was a contemporary of Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller, and Taylor and read the great theologians like Wesley, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin, and Luther. These all influenced Ryle’s understanding and theology. Ryle began his writing career with a tract following the Great Yarmouth suspension bridge tragedy, where more than a hundred people drowned. He gained a reputation for straightforward preaching and evangelism. He travelled, preached, and wrote more than 300 pamphlets, tracts, and books, including Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, Principles for Churchmen, and Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century. Ryle used the royalties from his writing to pay his father’s debts, but he also felt indebted to that ruin for changing the direction of his life. He was recommended by Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to be Bishop of Liverpool where he ended his career in 1900. Read more

    The Reluctant Rector: The Father Tom Mysteries Books 1-3 (The Father Tom Mysteries Boxsets Book 1)

    The Reluctant Rector is a boxset of the first three books in The Father Tom Mysteries. Meet Father Tom Greer and Detective Helen Parr, former lovers reunited after twenty years, as they solve crimes old and new–and explore the profound mysteries of the human heart. The Penitent Priest (Book 1)–My wife died in my arms, the victim of a nameless killer’s bullet. I should have died with her. But God had other plans for me. Fifteen years later, I’m back where it all happened. I just want to forget, but the past won’t leave me alone. Now, I’m asking a woman who I left broken-hearted twenty years before to catch my wife’s killer. I’m Father Tom Greer, a Catholic priest, and I’m playing with fire. The Framed Father (Book 2)–My wife’s killer finally caught, I was content to leave Myerton to serve in the isolation of the same monastery where I found my call to the priesthood. The temptations of the past still occupy my mind, but behind these walls I’m safe from them. A call from the Archbishop sends me back to Saint Clare’s, to find out if a young priest has broken his vows. Confident I’ll find nothing wrong, I’m content to return. Then a young woman is murdered, and the priest stands accused. Helen is on the case, and I must work with her again to find the truth. But the feelings we left unspoken before are harder to avoid, and I find my heart struggling with my head. Can I save a young man’s life without risking my soul? The Redemptive Return (Book 3)–My faith lies in tatters after the events of the summer. I’ve neglected my prayers. I’ve avoided my priestly duties. I am questioning everything about myself–except my feelings for Helen. When my estranged sister goes missing, I fly home to look for her–with Helen surprising me on the plane. My sister’s dead when I arrive. I’m too late to save her. But I swear to find her killer. But emotions are fragile things, and in the depths of my despair, my love for Helen bursts forth in a grief fueled frenzy of passion and longing. In coming home, what have I found–my damnation, or my redemption? Read more
