Within a year of publishing Mark in his *Expository Thoughts on the Gospels* series, J. C. Ryle had, in 1858, completed his study of the Gospel of Luke.
This was a much more 'substantial' commentary than the earlier ones on Matthew and Mark, and comprehensive 'explanatory notes' were appended to the author's 'thoughts' on each passage of Scripture. The purpose of the notes was four-fold-(i) to 'throw light on difficulties' in the text; (ii) to provide literal meanings and comparative translations of certain of the Greek words used by Luke; (iii) to quote what other 'approved writers' had said on particular passages; and (iv) to use Scripture to 'combat existing false doctrines and heresies'. Because of this, the *Expository Thoughts on Luke* were - and are in this new edition - presented in two volumes, the first covering Luke chapters 1-10, the second chapters 11-24.
Written specifically for a non-Jewish readership, Luke's Gospel is perhaps the most 'accessible' of the narratives of the life of Christ for modern readers. Ryle's desire for his readers mirrors that of Luke 1:4, that they might gain 'a more clear knowledge of Christ, as a living person, a living priest, a living physician, a living friend, a living advocate at the right hand of God, and a living Saviour soon about to come again'.
Ismay Deagan has one wish in the world - to leave Ireland and join her brother, Bram, in Australia. However, her father has other ideas and orders her to marry their vicious neighbour Rory Flynn, even though she loathes him. But after Rory brutally attacks her Ismay realises she has to escape. So, disguising herself as an impoverished young widow, she sets sail for Australia, hoping to be reunited with her brother. When she meets Adam Treagar on the ship, she finally starts to believe her dreams of future happiness may come true. But before they even reach their destination they are flung into adventures in Suez, Ceylon and Singapore... Can Ismay tell Adam the truth about who she really is? What secrets is Adam himself hiding? And will Ismay's past catch up with her and threaten her new life in Australia, before it has even begun?
