Short biography
J.C. Ryle was a prolific writer, vigorous preacher, faithful pastor, husband of three wives (widowed three times) and the father to five children. He was thoroughly evangelical in his doctrine and uncompromising in his Biblical principles.
After being in Pastoral ministry in England for 38 years, in 1880 (at age 64) Ryle became the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool and remained there for 20 years. He retired in 1900 (at age 83) and died later that same year at age 84.

The first few chapters are excellent and are a must read on the topic. However, as the book progresses the author becomes more and more pietistic and less applicable to the Christian life.

Short and encouraging read on the greatest preacher (according to Ryle) who ever lived.

Para entender a fé cristã, é preciso entender o evangelho. J. C. Ryle ajuda-nos a fazer esta leitura, que é a mais importante da vida do cristão. As Meditações nos Evangelhos, de J. C. Ryle, foram publicadas pela primeira vez na Inglaterra no ano de 1879. Desde então, vêm sendo reimpressas e traduzidas para diversos idiomas, edificando e instruindo diversas gerações de cristãos de vários lugares do mundo. Esta obra faz parte de uma série de quatro comentários devocionais sobre os evangelhos. Consideradas um grande clássico da literatura cristã, as Meditações foram preparadas com graça, simplicidade, fidelidade ao texto bíblico e praticidade. Todos os que desejam conhecer e aplicar, em suas vidas, as grandes lições do ministério terreno do Senhor Jesus Cristo certamente se deleitarão com a leitura desta obra.
