Book Brief: Thoughts For Young Men

J.C. Ryle
Charles Nolan Publishers (2002)


Timely advice, even after 100 years, from an older godly man to younger men. The language has changed a bit but the content hasn’t. Young men still experience the same temptations and need the same exhortation as they did back then. Coming in at only around sixty pages it is perfect in size and theme for anyone under the age of thirty – or whatever arbitrary age you want to assign to “young men”. Ryle divides the writing up into short sections including reasons, dangers, counsels and rules for young men. His aim is to plead for young men to step up and heed the call to follow Christ. A beneficial read for all men – young or old.
