Balancing the Christian Life

• 256 pages
• Chicago: Moody Publishers | 1994

Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

A balanced life: this is the goal of all Christian living. It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Perhaps the principle may be, but living by the principle is another matter altogether.

In Balancing the Christian Life, Charles Ryrie reminds you that “the Bible must be the guide and test for all our experiences in the spiritual life…and if any experience fails to past that test, it must be discarded.” He warns that “an unbalanced application of the doctrines related to spirituality will result in an unbalanced Christian life.”

Ryrie examines numerous key issues of spirituality, including:

• The old and new life
• Sanctification
• Using your gifts
• Routine faithfulness
• Wiles of the devil
• Temptation
• Confessing and forgiving

For more than twenty-five years, Balancing the Christian Life has been changing lives worldwide. Take time to read this classic study—and allow it to change yours!

Dispensationalism

• 224 pages
• Chicago: Moody Publishers | 2007

Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Dispensationalism continues to provoke heated debate within the Christian world. Highly acclaimed theologian Dr. Charles Ryrie addresses this crucial issue from the perspective of classic dispensationalism. He confronts the views of covenant theology, historical premillennialism, ultradispensationalism, and the increasingly popular progressive dispensationalism.

In his bestselling book, Dispensationalism, written more than thirty years ago, Dr. Ryrie made this complex subject more understandable for tens of thousands worldwide. This revised and expanded version of that book will prove to be an invaluable reference tool for your library.

For all who seek to either understand the biblical basis for dispensationalism or who feel the urge to criticize or dismiss dispensational theology, this book should be read first and foremost. Dr. Ryrie’s contribution to theology and biblical interpretation is monumental. This is a must read!
—Mark L. Bailey, President, Dallas Theological Seminary

For students and critics alike, Ryrie’s Dispensationalism underscores the crucial issue of defense: a literal, plain, normal interpretation of the biblical text. Set aside your presuppositions and give Dispensationalism a careful hearing.
—Michael J. Easley, President, Moody Bible Institute

So Great Salvation

• 160 pages
• Chicago: Moody Publishers | 1997

Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

What is salvation? How does God work this miracle in our lives?

One of the greatest themes that challenges the mind is that of salvation. It is not a trivial subject; it is a matter of life and death. Many pastors and authors have attempted to expound upon it. Yet how difficult it is to comprehend God’s grace that forgives all our sins every day and night, without preconditions, without works.

Scholar and theologian Charles Ryrie writes on the subject of salvation with humility and compassion. He brings clarity where there is confusion. While he quotes carefully and accurately from a wide range of authors, his final authority is the Word of God.

The gospel is the good news of the grace of God to give forgiveness and eternal life. So Great Salvation shows us that we can be confident of our salvation, certain we are forgiven by God, and sure we are destined for heaven.
