I have long enjoyed the writings of John Stott, specifically his work on Ephesians, Basic Christianity and Between Two Worlds. I can’t wait to begin reading his new biography, Basic Christian: The Inside Story of John Stott.

C.J. Mahaney’s Office

Besides enjoying the 7 minute video tour of C.J.’s library (especially his enormous section of Spurgeon’s volumes) I couldn’t help but chuckle at the 2:07 mark, seeing that I’m a FedEx courier. Trust me, if I saw C.J. doing this every weekday, I too would think the same thing.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels by J.C. Ryle
September 24, 2009 · 1 Comment
I picked up J.C. Ryle’s 7 volume commentary set Expository Thoughts on the Gospels this week. What a fantastic addition to my personal library. I’ve read a few pages from each volume and have already noticed the simplicity and depth of insight that I’ve grown to appreciate about Ryle over the past few years.
For those of you who wish to read more of Ryle, visit my site @ J.C. Ryle Quotes.
