Matthew Henry

One of the finest, but little known, treatises on the godly life ever written, by the author of the justly popular Matthew Henry's Commentary. This little gem teaches how to begin the day with God, how to spend the day with God, and how to end the day with God. C. H. Spurgeon said, "Matthew Henry is most pious and pithy, sound and sensible, terse and trustworthy."

"I here humbly offer you, Christian reader, some assistance in that great and good work, which you have to do, and are concerned to do well, when you attend the table of your Lord. I send this abroad under the protection and blessing of heaven; with a hearty prayer to God to forgive whatever is mine, that is, what is amiss and defective in the performance; and graciouswly to accept what is his own, that is, whatever is good and profitable." - Matthew Henry "No treatise on The Lord's Table possesses more excellencies, nor fewer defects than Mathew Henry's THE COMMUNICANT'S COMPANION. It is very plain, very pious, and very practical." - Rev. John Brown of Edinburgh, Scotland (1825)

Matthew Henry's commentary on the Bible is legendary. Used by millions it is a testament to his desire to make the whole Bible and its teaching reach the ordinary man. 50 years ago Allan Harman was given a small, well-worn book of handwritten sermon notes. They were Matthew Henry's own notes, from sermons preached to his Chester congregation in 1691/2. Harman started turning these long forgotten sermons into what you hold in your hand today - a revealing, and deeply spiritual work on that most fundamental of doctrines - God's promise of Grace. Harman filled in the shorthand gaps; added footnotes to help with obscure passages and translated the Greek, Hebrew and Latin quotes. He also provides a biographical introduction to help us picture Henry and see the context in which these sermons were preached. Henry's delightfully clear style is evident and provides succinct, memorable quotations that will stay with you.
