Christian in Complete Armour

This is certainly one of the greatest of all the Puritans' practical writings, has been many times republished, but the best edition remains that of
1864, with and Introduction by J.C. Ryle. It is this edition which is now
reprinted. Gurnall's work is peerless and priceless; every line is full of
wisdom; every sentence is suggestive. The whole book has been preached over
scores of times, and is, in our judgement, the best thought-breeder in all our
library. 'This 'Complete Armour' is beyond all others a preacher's book: I
should think that more discourses have been suggested by it than by any other
uninspired volume. I have often resorted to it when my own fire has been
burning low, and I have seldom failed to find a flowing coal upon Gurnall's
hearth. John Newton said that if he might read only one book beside the Bible,
he would choose 'The Christian in Complete Armour', and Richard Cecil was of
much the same opinion. J.C. Ryle has said of it,'You will often find in a line
a half some great truth, put so concisely, and yet so fully, that you really
marvel how so much thought could be got into so few words'.Recommended €
