J. C. Ryle is best known for his plain and lively writings on practical and spiritual themes. His great aim, in all his ministry, was to encourage strong and serious Christian living. He recognized that, as a pastor of the flock of God, he had a responsibility to guard Christ's sheep and to warn them whenever he saw approaching dangers. His love for the church shines through all his preaching and writing. His fearless proclamation of biblical truths, his insight into the dangers threatening the church, his practical wisdom and his penetrating comments are as wise and relevant today as they were when he first wrote them.

'Truth never changes. Language does. Many treasures remain unread, often because older language puts off modern readers. In the academic arena scholars continually offer new translations of stnadard classics. It is appropriate, I believe, that a modern edition of J. C. Ryle's classic book, Warnings to the Churches, be offered by Evangelical Press. This is a superbly done modern edition. I encourage this generation to read it. It makes a great writer even more accessible to new readers.'
