Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1867, The Two Bears and Other Sermons for Children by J.C. Ryle contains seven lively sermons aimed at young audiences. With creative storytelling and gentle encouragement, Ryle makes biblical truths and life lessons accessible and compelling for children. The title sermon draws from the cautionary story told in 2 Kings where a group of children are punished for mocking the prophet Elisha. Another sermon celebrates the simple but profound faith of a young blind girl. Ryle challenges children to emulate her joy and trust in Christ. In one of the longest pieces, Ryle analyzes Proverbs 8:17 phrase-by-phrase, urging children to seek and love God from an early age. Vivid analogies and examples illustrate the blessings of pursuing Christ wholeheartedly during childhood. While uncompromising in his focus on sin, salvation, and scripture, Ryle approaches children with affection and hope. His imaginative sermons mingle warnings against wickedness with tender invitations to redemption. Without shying away from the stark realities of judgment, Ryle summons the littlest souls to live purposefully and morally by clinging to the Savior. Though originally delivered to 19th century audiences, these creative Gospel messages translate seamlessly across cultures and generations.

Autorenporträt
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduó de Eton y Oxford en Inglaterra y quería seguir una carrera en la política. Pero debido a la falta de fondos, entró en el clero de la Iglesia de Inglaterra. Era contemporáneo de Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller y Taylor. Además, leyó los libros de los grandes teológicos como Wesley, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin y Lutero. Todos éstos influyeron a Ryle y contribuyeron a su entendimiento y teología. Ryle empezó a escribir primero un librito informativo después de que ocurrió la tragedia del puente colgante Great Yarmouth, donde se ahogaron más de cien almas. Se reconocía como predicador directo y por predicar el evangelismo. Viajaba, predicaba, y escribió más de 300 folletos, libritos informativos y otros libros, incluso Pensamientos expositivos de los evangelios (Expository Thoughts on the Gospels) y Líderes cristianos del siglo XVIII (Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century). Aunque usó sus ganancias de autor para pagar las deudas de bancarrota de su padre, consideró esa ruina la voluntad de Dios porque cambió la dirección de su vida. El primer ministro Benjamín Disraeli recomendó que fuera designado el Obispo de Liverpool donde cumplió este puesto hasta 1900.
