"Holiness is by far Ryle's most important doctrinal and practical work... In any list of must-read books, this one should be somewhere near the very top." — John MacArthur

An affordable new edition of J C Ryle's classic work. This edition, which is lightly modernized, contains 10 chapters from Ryle's wonderful work: Holiness.

J. C Ryle wrote this timeless classic on holiness over a hundred years ago, yet how poignant his words still are for us today. Sadly, we all know how easy it is to appear godly in public, while behind closed doors to continue in our own sin.

This modern English version will challenge a new generation of readers to live a Christ–like life. Ryle's timeless wisdom reminds us that holiness shouldn't be cold, distant and unobtainable, but that Christ himself is the root of our godliness. Be exhorted not to simply settle for half–hearted holiness, but to strive to be holy in every area of our lives.

Holiness, Ryle argued, was not simply a matter of believing and feeling, but of doing.
