Practical Religion: Being Plain Papers on the Daily Duties, Experience, Dangers, and Privileges of Professing Christians

Far from advocating a works-based religion, these papers are all about how a Christian can practically respond to the grace that has been freely given to him in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ryle was a great enemy of hypocritical and nominal religion, or 'churchianity' as he called it. These articles remain a great plea for a real, heartfelt devotion to the Lord in love and service, founded on the great doctrines of Scripture.

No Christian who reads any one of these papers will be left unaffected. 'Believer in Christ, remember this Whatever you do in religion, do it well. Be real. Be thorough. Be honest. Be true.'
