According to J. C. Ryle, next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible reading . God in his mercy has given us a book ‘which is able to make us wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus’ (2 Tim. 3:15). By reading the Bible we may learn what to believe, what to be, and what to do; how to live with comfort, and how to die in peace. This book consists of material extracted from Ryle’s Practical Religion, which is also published by the Trust.
