Description

In this concise book, author J.C. Ryle delves into five common dangers that he considered especially plaguing to the young men he observed. Pride, Love of Pleasure, Thoughtlessness, Contempt of Christianity, and Fear of Man's Opinion are all specific perils that Ryle deals with in his direct yet pastoral style. Despite its original target of young men the precious truths and timeless advice drawn from Scripture are also very valuable to our young women as well. Ryle speaks in a very approachable and useful style that resonates today (perhaps even more so) as it did when first published. The problems that threaten young men are just as real and even stronger now than ever. We live in a modern world that is at war with the things of God and young people have very particular vulnerabilities. I would strongly encourage any man (or lady) young or old to read this as it will prove to be a tremendous help and encouragement.
