As a husband, father of five (including three sons), pastor, and the first Bishop of Liverpool, J.C. Ryle (1816-1900) was no doubt qualified to address young men. Replete with direct and pithy counsel for disciples of all ages and walks of life, Thoughts for Young Men is an excellent handbook of the Christian faith. Ryrie remarked, 'If I can only say something to keep some young man in the right way, and preserve him from faults and sins, which may mar his prospects both for time and eternity, I shall be very thankful.'
