Synopsis

In this book, J. C. Ryle offers timeless advice to young men. Written in a very familiar style, he warns young men against sloth, lust, love of pleasure, peer pressure, and other dangers. In addition, Ryle offers practical, helpful advice and encouragement to young men in taking steps to overcome these dangers and become men of character and godliness.

About this title

From the Publisher

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.

About the Author

J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) was the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, and is widely regarded as having one of the most significant and impactful ministries of his generation. His works remain widely read today. He is affectionately referred to as that man of granite, with the heart of a child in a recent biography. We hope our publication of this small book has a part in producing a few more men of that description.
