About this listen

John Charles Ryle’s best known works have been reissued and widely read over many years. The fine qualities of his writings have ensured that his books are still popular and useful. This volume has become a classic work and is known and loved by many throughout the world.

In days when evangelical preachers are accused of being either superficial or dull, we have here a great example of one who was neither of these things. As Bishop Ryle explains and applies his texts with his customary simplicity and directness, the listener will find his conscience pricked and his soul examined. Ryle addresses hard and trying subjects that most modern evangelicals have chosen to ignore: the power and depth of indwelling sin, the necessity of a holy life, the struggle and fight of faith, counting the cost of following Christ - and that’s only in the first five chapters. Ryle’s Holiness has become essential reading on this most important subject, and the first chapter, “Sin”, has rarely been bettered.

J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) was appointed as the first bishop of Liverpool in 1880 and was the leader of the Evangelical Party in the Church of England for more than half a century. He is highly regarded for his plain and lively writings on practical and spiritual themes; their usefulness and impact have been consistently recognized and remain as wise and relevant today as when he first wrote them.

will listen to this many times while over the road trucking. the narrator's voice can fade out at the end of some words but you can get the whole message after rewinding in only a few spots. but MOST IMPORTANTLY this book will change your life and help you take WAY more seriously the holiness life. 8 stars

every true Christian must read

This book is timeless and deserves five stars because of how saturated it is with Christ. The author points to him over and over and over and over in nuanced, surprising, and beautiful ways. Ryles' deep affection and trust in Jesus is evident on every page. The rhythm of his writing style is a perfect match for an audio book. I almost wonder if it would have been less enjoyable had I read it instead of listened to it. I completely agree with another reviewer's comment that Ralph Cosham's voice must be very close to what Ryles sounded like. His performance was phenomenal.

Biblical holiness as only the incomparable and God loving Ryle could convey. Beautifully written, honoring the Lord Jesus above all. Convicting, admonishing & God fearing exposition in numerous sermons by a very honorable man. Read & reread often!

Excellent for edifying the believer and helping the non-believer see Christ how He should be seen. Had to go back and re-listen often to make sure I was catching what Ryle was saying in full. Could be listened to several times I’m sure and new insights gleaned every time. Recommend for everyone who’s wanting to understand Christian faith and living it out more practically.

Great work for edification and understanding Christianity

Holiness is a great review of true biblical Christianity and faith. Though written 150 years ago, Ryle's assessment of the challenges of easy-believism are remarkably spot-on in the 21st Century.
Very highly recommended. I also appreciated the English accent of the reader, reading British text.

A Christian Classic

This is an excellent testimony of a life that is surrendered to Christ Jesus. It is truly remarkable how in-depth the information of true Christianity is lived in a follower of the Lord. Every Christian should add this volume to their library.

Superb and must read
