This is a collection of eight sermons for young children (ages 6-11) by the great Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, J.C. Ryle. This book has been retyped in large print so that children can read it for themselves. Not only is it very readable and understandable for the youngest reader, but as you would expect from Ryle, it is sound theology. Some of the other sermons are: "Seeking the Lord Early," "Little and Wise," "The Two Bears," and "No More Crying."

Ryle started his ministry as curate at the Chapel of Ease in Exbury, Hampshire, moving on to become rector of St Thomas', Winchester in 1843 and then rector of Helmingham, Suffolk the following year. While at Helmingham he married and was widowed twice. He began publishing popular tracts, and Matthew, Mark and Luke of his series of Expository Thoughts on the Gospels were published in successive years (1856-1858). His final parish was Stradbroke, also in Suffolk, where he moved in 1861, and it was as vicar of All Saints that he became known nationally for his straightforward preaching and firm defence of evangelical principles. He wrote several well-known and still-in-print books, often addressing issues of contemporary relevance for the Church from a biblical standpoint. He completed his Expository Thoughts on the Gospels while at Stradbroke, with his work on the Gospel of John (1869). His third marriage, to Henrietta Amelia Clowes in 1861, lasted until her death in 1889.
