In the preface to this volume, Charles Haddon Spurgeon is quoted as having said "Every minister ought to read Matthew Henry entirely and carefully through once at least." Edited by Martin H. Manser, Draw Near to God: Daily Readings from Matthew Henry contains some of Henry's most inspirational scriptural meditations. Meant for daily devotional reading, this volume provides insight and encouragement for every day of the year. Each devotion is one page or less—very manageable for the busy Christian.
Matthew Henry (1662–1714) achieved a standard of applied analysis that has long marked his work as superior. In addition to Henry’s commentary on 1, 2, & 3 John, Logos also offers Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Bible, complete and unabridged, in six volumes.
Daily Guidance is a compilation of one-page devotions, for each day of the year. Individually themed, each contains Bible verses and the words to either a hymn or a sacred poem. A helpful "Where to find help when you're feeling. . . ." section precedes the devotional, providing an index to devotions addressing anxiety, loneliness, thankfulness, depression, and more.
