Faithfulness and Holiness: The Witness of J.C. Ryle - J. I. Packer
As heir to a fortune, J. C. Ryle had a hopeful future until the day his father declared bankruptcy. In a single moment, he was stripped of everything. And yet, had this not happened, Ryle would probably not have become one of the most influential evangelical leaders of the 19th century. Along with J.I. Packer's own reflections on the life of this clergyman is a reprint of Ryle's classic, Holiness--all here in one volume to encourage Christians that, just as what could have broken Ryle became the very instrument that led him towards holiness, so too does God use our trials to lead us in our journey toward holiness.
