John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) so narodil v Macclesfielde, v Cheshire, v Anglicku. Študoval na Eton College a na Univerzite v Oxforde. Chcel so venovať politickej kariére, v čom mu však zabránil bankrot jeho otca. V roku 1841 vstúpil do služby cirkvi o v roku 1880 so stal prvým biskupom Anglikánskej cirkvi v Liverpoole. Pre svoj priamy o nekompromisný štýl kázania evanjelikálnych doktrín dostal prezývku “muž zo žuly so srdcom dieťaťa”. Martyn Lloyd-Jones o ňom napísal: „jeho knihy sú výňatkom pravej puritánskej teológie vo výborne čitateľnej o modernej forme.“ „J. C. Rýle bol jednou z najváženejších osobností v celej histórii evanjelikálneho kresťanstva.” R. Albert Mohler Jr., prezident, Southern Boptist Theologicol Seminory

To ask and answer the question 'Why were our Reformers burned?' could not be more pertinent to the times in which we live, according to Roger Carswell in his Introduction to this edition of J. C. Ryle's tract on the English Reformers. This is a booklet that needs to be read carefully and prayerfully. Its aim is not to lead anyone to smug self-righteousness or complacency. To understand the error of a theological system ought to stir within us compassion and winsome boldness towards those who are caught up in it. We ought to feel deeply thankful to God for those who lived and laid down their lives for the truth of the gospel. The world was not worthy of them: they took up their cross and followed their Saviour. We need to understand why the Reformers of the sixteenth century lived and died as they did, and in our times cultivate a similar, costly commitment to the truth of the gospel. This booklet is an extract from Ryle's Five English Reformers and Light from Old Times.

The book explores themes of vigilance and preparedness, drawing on the biblical parable of the ten virgins. It emphasizes the uncertainty of timing regarding significant events, urging readers to remain alert and spiritually ready for the unexpected arrival of the Son of Man.

Through biblical insights, the text encourages readers to rely on the Spirit's guidance, fostering a deeper understanding of faith and its capacity to inspire and empower.

Liverpoolský biskup J. C. Ryle (1818–1900) byl věrný evangelikální křesťan a plodný autor. Jeho klasické dílo na téma svatosti a posvěcení se nikdy nepřestalo vydávat. Velmi cenné jsou však i jeho kratší knihy. Potřeby, které identifikoval a které ho motivovaly k jejich sepsání, jsou totiž stále aktuální. Nesmírně důležitá je mezi nimi právě kniha Výzva pro mladé muže, která volá čtenáře k tomu, aby zaujali své oprávněné místo v Božím plánu. Varuje před pýchou, honbou za rozkoší, pohrdáním opravdovou vírou a strachem z lidí, a současně jim nabízí praktické biblické rady pro zbožný život. „J. C. Ryle rozhodně patří mezi tu hrstku autorů, kteří budou křesťanovi sloužit jako celoživotní přátelé a průvodci. I po šedesáti letech ho čtu se stejným potěšením.“ – Iain H. Murray, britský kazatel a spisovatel „J. C. Ryle patřil k nejváženějším osobnostem v celých dějinách evangelikálního křesťanství.“ – R. Albert Mohler Jr., prezident Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Tato kniha by měla být povinnou četbou pro současnou generaci i každou následující. Výborně se hodí pro osobní i skupinové studium.
