J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on
church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to
establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English
cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as
fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents
in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in
print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person
in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed
how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a
devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that
have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according
to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before
moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.
Most people have lost a sense of destiny, God's will for their
lives. Many even believe you just can't know God's will - that in
His sovereignty, He will make it happen regardless of what you do.
Too long this viewpoint has kept Christians from knowing the full
potential He planned for them. But no more. God created you with a
specific purpose, and the good new is, He wants you to find it.
Just knowing God's will, however, isn't enough. You need to
understand the part you play if you're going to follow it. You
might be surprised to learn it involves following the desires of
your heart. But before you set off, make sure you're able to
distinguish His will from your own selfish desires.
One of the most important lessons of all is that you can't
fulfill God's will any way you want. His strength and timing, and
your obedience and patience are just a few of the things it takes.
This book explains all this and much more.
