The Most Popular Commentary Ever Written in a Modern, Easy-to-Read
Edition.
"First among the mighty (commentaries) for general usefulness we
are bound to mention the man whose name is a household word,
Matthew Henry. He is the most pious and pithy, sound and sensible,
suggestive and sober, terse and trustworthy . . . he is deeply
spiritual, heavenly, profitable; finding good matter in every text,
and from all deducting the most practical and judicious lessons . .
. It is the Christian's companion, suitable to everybody,
instructive to all."
--Charles H. Spurgeon
From Genesis to Revelation, Matthew Henry successfully combines
practical application, devotional insight, and scholarship on the
entire Bible. Henry has profound insights on the content, message
and nature of God's divine revelation. Perfect for all readers of
the Bible who want a comprehensive commentary.
- Modern easy-to-read modern type with Scripture passages in
bold
- Complete and unabridged in 6 volumes
- Includes The Life of Matthew Henry by J. B. Williams
- Entirely faithful to the original
This collection of prayers by noted Hebrew Bible scholar Walter
Brueggemann can be used in both public worship and private
devotion. These prayers run the gamut from particular days in the
church year to special moments in the lives of worshiping
communities to events playing out on the world stage. In all cases,
the prayers spur us toward acts of justice and peacemaking and call
on God to heal and restore God's hurting and broken people.
Prayer for the Day brings together 365 selected readings from the
much loved, long-running series on BBC Radio 4. The programme,
which has been broadcast daily at 5:43am for several decades, and
continues to attract over half a million dedicated listeners,
comprises a short 2-minute reflection to start your day. These
artfully combine traditional forms of prayer and reflection, from a
variety of religions and denominations, with contemporary issues
and themes that are often relevant to the date on which the
programme is broadcast. In keeping with the theme of 'Prayer for
the Day', there are 365 reflections in the book, from a vast range
of the eminent religious figures and broadcasters who have
contributed to the programme over the years. There is a foreword by
a prominent figure in the faith community, a short profile of each
contributor and an index of contributors. To emphasise the point
that the reflections can be used daily, they are ordered by date
(i.e. 1st January, 2nd January etc), and each entry is selected on
the basis of it being as date-specific as possible. The date of
broadcast is underneath each entry, and dates are also marked at
the top corners of each page so they can be found easily. The
spacious design includes page openers for each month with simple
line illustrations. Prayer for the Day is a beautiful and
inspirational addition to any bedside table, with religious
meditations that both participate in the ecumenical spirit of the
21st century and equip you perfectly for each day's journey.
