J. C. Ryle (1816 - 1900) was the first Bishop of Liverpool. He was one of the most authoritative churchmen of his time and his writings have been in constant demand throughout the last hundred years. His popularity was due to his clear and simple style, his longevity due to his being a profound thinker and compassionate pastor.

This was a wonderful, short and encouraging book which stressed the difference between saving faith and assurance. An encouragement to press on to full assurance and a reminder that while all children of God have faith they don't all have assurance. I found it to be a great read and the "Evidences of Grace" section at the end of the book provides a wonderful examination for the reader to investigate the Spirit's work in a believers life. I would recommend this to all! Jeff Simmons
