Character Is Everything

Finally finished the excellent biography of "Matthew Henry His Life and Influence" by Allan Harman of Australia. Aside from being a loving husband and father (his own plus adopted children), pastor, friend, bible expositor and writer of many books he is best known for his six volume "Commentary on the Whole Bible." It is interesting to note that his books were accepted and loved by many in his day ( and now 300 years later) because of the example of Henry's godly character. When he was mentioned in writings of others, "...all references are to his integrity of character and the graces that he displayed." (Pg 201)
