DAILY READINGS FROM ALL FOUR GOSPELS For Morning and Evening
J.C. Ryle - Compiled by Robert J. Sheehan
Daily Readings from all Four Gospels is a fresh presentation of Ryle's classic Daily Readings. This reprinted edition contains all 732 readings from the two previous volumes and arranges them for the morning and evening of every day of any year.
Each morning Ryle will take you by the hand and lead you through the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke; then each evening throughout the year he will be your tour guide through the Glorious Gospel of John. In his remarks of the Preface or Prologue to John's Gospel (1:1-18) Ryle makes the following observations:
"The preface of this Gospel is one of the most striking peculiarities about the whole book. Under the term preface, I include the first eighteen verses of the first chapter. This preface forms the quintessence of the whole book, and is composed of simple, short, condensed propositions. Nowhere in the Bible shall we find such clear and distinct statements about our Lord Jesus Christ’s divine nature. Nowhere shall we find so many expressions, which for want of mental power, no mortal man can fully grasp or explain. In no portion of Scripture is it so deeply important to notice each word, and even each tense employed in each sentence. In no portion of Scripture do the perfect grammatical accuracy and verbal precision of an inspired composition shine out so brightly. It is not, perhaps, too much to say, that not a single word could be altered in the first five verses of John’s Gospel, without opening the door to some heresy."
"Among the few authors a Christian wants as a lifelong friend and helper, J.C. Ryle is certainly one. After sixty years I still read him with the same relish!" - Iain H. Murray
"There's a reason we keep digging up Ryle. His writing is always Clear (a 19th century man who writes short sentences!), Driven (he's always going after the jugular vein of your soul), and Focused (he just can't keep his eyes off Jesus). Get a copy and let the nourishment begin, and pick up a spare to put in your guest room." -Dale Ralph Davis
"Always fresh, always reliable, and always centered on Christ. I keep coming back to Ryle on the Gospels and have never yet been disappointed. Use this book in your devotional life. Your heart will be warmed with fresh love for Christ and a renewed desire to live for His glory." -Colin Smith
'Ryle is always worth reading, pithy, practical, heart-warming and full of love to Jesus Christ. This book does a great job in making him more accessible.' John Benton, Guildford
J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) was appointed as the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool in 1880 and was the leader of the Evangelical Party in the Church of England for more than half a century. He is highly regarded for his plain and lively writings on practical and spiritual themes, and their usefulness and impact have been consistently recognized and remain as wise and relevant today as when he first wrote them.
