Light from Old Times: Or Protestant Facts and Men - John Charles Ryle - Hardcover

Raised in a nominal Christian home, John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was of the distinct opinion that Christianity must be one of the most disagreeable occupations on earth -- or in heaven. One day in 1837 he happed into a church where, hearing Scripture read out loud, he was transformed. One verse, and the emphasis made in between each clause, gripped him. "By grace are ye saved -- through faith -- and that not of yourselves -- it is the gift of God." Of his conversion Ryle said, "nothing to this day appeared to me so clear and distinct as my own sinfulness, Christ's presence, the value of the Bible, the absolute necessity of coming out of the world, the need of being born again, and the enormous folly of the whole doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration."Ryle, J. C. is the author of 'Light from Old Times: Or Protestant Facts and Men - John Charles Ryle - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780967760308 and ISBN 0967760305.
