Dead Theologians

This blog is called Dead Theologians because I prefer to read the works of Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Edwards, Whitefield and the like rather than 99% of today's wasted ink on paper. The content on this page is my honest attempt to go over things that pertain to Christianity and its mouthpiece, the church. I also plan to write about many other topics that relate to my life as a Christian. My goal is to comment throughout the week on one subject while changing subjects every week or so.

THE MOST CONVICTING BOOK, BESIDES THE BIBLE, THAT I HAVE EVER READ

I have read a lot of books since I started reading as a youngster. When I was saved I started reading books that were Christian or pertained to my walk with Christ.

I say all of this to say that I have not read a book in my Christian life that is so dead-on convicting as this book. Don't let the title fool you. This book is for boys and men of all ages. It has been the kind of book that I try to pick up every year and read.

Here is a brief description from the publisher...

Though aimed at young men, all Christians will greatly benefit from Ryle' s practical wisdom concerning the dangers of pride, the love of pleasure, and thoughtlessness, discussed in a warm, but frank manner.
