Thoughts for Young Men
Excerpt
"Young men, be of good courage. Don’t worry what the world says or thinks: you will not always be with the world. Can man save your soul? No. Will man be your judge in the great and dreadful day of judgment? No. Can man give you a good conscience in this life, a good hope in death, a good answer in the morning of resurrection? No! no! no! Man can do nothing of the sort. Then “Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool” (Isa. 51:7-8). Call to mind the saying of Gardiner: “I fear God, and therefore I have no one else to fear.” Go and be like him...."

J.C. Ryle's Thoughts for Young Men has stood the test of time, earning its place as a spiritual classic since its publication in 1865. Ryle's counsel, originally directed at the young men of 19th-century England, resonates just as powerfully today. The challenges and temptations he addressed are universal and timeless, and perhaps are more urgent in the present day. What makes Ryle's counsel so enduring is that it is rooted in Holy Scripture. His advice isn't shaped by personal opinions or the cultural norms of Victorian society. It is rooted in the infallible and unchanging Word of God. This timeless wisdom is what gives Thoughts for Young Men its lasting impact.
This edition preserves Ryle's original, unaltered text. Additionally, it includes questions and application exercises at the end of each chapter, enhancing its usefulness for fathers and older men who are discipling younger men. Whether read alone or used as a tool for discipleship, this book is designed to provide guidance and encouragement for the next generations of godly men.
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was a minister in the Church of England and served as the first bishop of Liverpool. He was the author of many classic works including Holiness and Expository Thoughts on the Gospels.
