About this book

Twenty-one plain papers on the Christian’s daily life, written as the companion to Knots Untied and Old Paths. Ryle begins with self-inquiry and effort, turns to prayer, Bible-reading, the Lord’s Supper, charity and zeal, weighs formality, the world, riches and sickness, and ends with the family of God, heaven and eternity — always pressing the reader to make religion real and personal.

The text which heads this page contains a proposal which the Apostle Paul made to Barnabas after their first missionary journey. He proposed to revisit the Churches they had been the means of founding, and to see how they were getting on. Were their members continuing steadfast in the faith? Were they growing in grace? Were they going forward, or standing still?
