Matthew Henry, the great Puritan commentator, here looks at what gives people real joy. He looks at 12 different types of Christian pleasure, reviews what God has done to bring sinners joy, demonstrates that Christian experience proves this and challenges the reader to join in! This was Matthew Henry’s last book and was at the press when he died in 1714. This classic of Christian living is brought to you by J. I. Packer who adds an extensive introduction to the book showing its significance and gestation from Henry’s ministry.
160 pages.
I was familiar with Matthew Henry's commentary on the Bible, in an edited form, so this is a little different. The old language can be a bit difficult, but reading at a fast pace, and not getting bogged down works for me. The title of the book sums it up well, but it's not a "health and wealth" treatise. At the start of the last chapter, Henry writes: "Much might be said to frighten you out of the ways of sin and folly, but I would hope to gain the same point another way, by alluring you in the ways of wisdom and holiness".
