About the Author
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduated from Eton and Oxford and then pursued a career in politics, but due to lack of funds, he entered the clergy of the Church of England. He was a contemporary of Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller, and Taylor and read the great theologians like Wesley, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin, and Luther. These all influenced Ryle’s understanding and theology. Ryle began his writing career with a tract following the Great Yarmouth suspension bridge tragedy, where more than a hundred people drowned. He gained a reputation for straightforward preaching and evangelism. He travelled, preached, and wrote more than 300 pamphlets, tracts, and books, including Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, Principles for Churchmen, and Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century. Ryle used the royalties from his writing to pay his father’s debts, but he also felt indebted to that ruin for changing the direction of his life. He was recommended by Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to be Bishop of Liverpool where he ended his career in 1900.

1 review for The Duties of Parents
This is a very good book, it is short, practical, and to the point. Every Christian parent should buy a copy. Me and my wife are reading it together and it is a blessing. It is one of those books you can continue to go back to and apply it. He touches on almost every point on raising children God’s way. While there are many books composed by believers on raising children God’s way, this book is practical yet has a lot of depth. If I had to chose one book on raising children godly, I would chose this one. If you’re a Christian parent looking for a good book on raising children godly, than I recommend you this one, you will not be disappointed.
