Book Description
Christmas, and New Year, are excellent moments to pause and reflect—as scattered families regather for the national holiday, and as the calendar turns over again, with another year gone forever. J. C. Ryle urges us – in the midst of our feasting and festivities and family reunions – to make time to consider our spiritual state and our relationship with God. How is it with our souls? What do we make of Jesus Christ? What will be our future, when all our Christmases are past?
This little book contains five of Ryle’s most popular Christmas tracts, the spiritual wisdom of which is timeless. Ryle challenges us – while we enjoy the wonderful delights of mince pies and mistletoe and mulled wine and music and merriment – to make the most of every Christmas, to consider seriously the person of Jesus Christ and questions of eternal significance.

Jeff Crippen –
J.C. Ryle has been a very powerful presence in our church for many years through his books. I am the pastor and whenever I have been absent from the pulpit our common practice has been to have one of our elders select and read one of Ryle’s sermons on Sunday morning from the pulpit. This is always very well received and edifying to all. Ryle’s major books such as Practical Religion, Holiness, Old Paths, and his commentaries on the Gospels go very far in equipping a new (or old) Christian.
Logan Meek –
This book has been a great help and encouragement for me this year. The readings are short enough to complete without much time and deep enough to encourage reflection in the Christmas season. I am so glad I have this short collection to help me prepare my heart for Christmas.
Joshua Isaac Boyd –
I was introduced to JC Ryle when I was given his set of expositions on the Gospels. When I saw that this book was being offered I ordered without hesitation, if you are seeking to place Christ at His rightful position as the center of your Christmas season I would recommend reading this book. The book is a short collection of Christmas tracts written and distributed by the 19th century English pastor JC Ryle. In this volume you will feel a pastors heart pleading with his community to turn to Christ. I spent nearly two months reading and slowly digesting each page of this book, I am using it as a guide for a sermon series this December. While there are only 100-120 pages in this little book it is pack with theological truth and convicting thoughts for each and every person to consider Christ, the mortality of man and the true meaning of Christmas. As always you also get a heirloom quality hardcover binding by Banner of Truth. Do not pass up on this wonderful book from a pastors heart.
