The Christian in Complete armour by William Gurnall

This book has stood out as one of the greatest books in Christian literature. Spurgeon said of Gurnall’s work, “it 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 our library.” John Newton said, “If I might read only one book beside the Bible, I would choose the Christian in Complete Armour,” and J.C. Ryle wrote of it, “You will often find in a line and a half some great truth put so consisely and yet so fully that you really marvel how so much thought could be got into so few words.”

This book primarily focuses on Ephesians 6, which discusses the whole armor of God. The hardcover single volume published by Banner of Truth contains 1,240 pages and an introduction by J. C. Ryle which can also be found in his Light From Old Times.
