The Way of Faith

By: J.C. Ryle

Narrated by: Jason Wright

If Charles Spurgeon was the Prince of Preachers, one might say that J. C. Ryle was the Prince of Theology. Not as catchy of a title perhaps, but it’s true. While he is widely known for his book Holiness, his sermons on faith are equally as powerful, and practical.

John Charles Ryle, widely known as J.C. Ryle, was a prominent figure in the 19th-century Anglican Church, renowned for his unwavering commitment to evangelical principles and his influential role as a bishop, pastor, and writer. Born on May 10, 1816, in Macclesfield, England, Ryle's life journey would be marked by a deep devotion to the Christian faith and a burning passion to fight to prove that the church was still relevant in an increasingly secular world. Ryle's written works played a crucial role in spreading his message. Ryle had a knack for being clear and direct in the way he taught, which ruffled some feathers in some, while sparking more fire in others. This volume itself is a powerful collection of his writings and sermons on faith. It is surprisingly profound while simple and practical at the same time.

J.C. Ryle's legacy extends beyond his lifetime. His writings have continued to influence generations of Christians, and his commitment to biblical truth has left a permanent mark on the church. His life serves as a testimony to the enduring impact of a dedicated friend of God who, in both word and deed, sought to glorify Christ and promote the Gospel.
