“What a joy this is! I have consistently used the complete Matthew Henry almost daily since I was a little boy – but I’m very aware that most people struggle to do that. As a family we have started to use this wonderful version of Matthew Henry in our daily Bible studies. Our two teenage sons are growing to love Matthew Henry and so many of the precious gems of this brilliant commentary are made available in such an easy and affordable manner. A huge thank you to Martin Manser and Zondervan for this major piece of work.” (Paul Blackham on Amazon.co.uk)
