This book is a timeless treasure. Ryle's writing is firm, but tenderhearted, as a loving grandfather. His style is plain and practical. His message is needed.
He writes about dangers of young men, such as pride, love of pleasure, thoughtlessness, and fear of man's opinion. He also gives counsel and rules for young men to help avoid temptations like lust and to draw into a closer walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Though J.C. Ryle (1816-1900), wrote Thoughts for Young Men over a century ago, the message applies to every generation of young men. You may think that you have very little in common with a young man of the 19th century, but you will be surprised at how relevant Ryle's admonitions and encouragements are to you today.
Read, reflect, and receive godly wisdom.
This edition includes the complete text of J.C. Ryle's classic, Thoughts for Young Men.
"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12)

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
There are four great temptations that plague most young men: sloth, lust, love of pleasure, and peer pressure. J.C. Ryle -- the last of the great Puritans -- tackles each of these subjects with a tenderness and tact which is unsurpassed. First written toward the end of the nineteenth century, it remains to this day the most relevant and helpful book on the subject in print. I was first introduced to Ryle about fifteen years ago, and he remains my favorite teacher on personal holiness.
J.C. Ryle (1816-1900) is one of the great Christian writers of the 19th century. He has been referred to as the last Puritan.
