J.C.Ryle: The Man of Granite

J. C. Ryle: That Man of Granite (Hisotry Makers) is the book I recently completed which gives a very good overview of Ryle and his evangelical leadership in the Church of England as the Bishop of Liverpool.  He worked hard to bring the different views held with in the church at the time to a place of peace and unity.  His evangelical mark was and continues to be felt in the church.

This work by Russell also gave me a general understanding of the day to day work of a Bishop.  He reveals the reasons for writing some of his tracts and his book on Holiness which is on my reading list to complete this year.

Another book on my shelf that will help in understanding Ryle and his impact on the church is Faithfulness and Holiness: The Witness of J.C. Ryle by J.I. Packer.
