Pleasantness of a Religious Life, The

True piety has true pleasure in it.

In six chapters on Proverbs 3:17, Matthew Henry proves and illustrates the doctrine of religious pleasantness, saying the religious life is the only life worth living. "What was the fall and apostasy of man, and what is still his sin and misery, but the soul's revolt from the divine life, and giving up itself wholly to the animal life?" Henry writes. Henry's work is a treasure, helping to demolish Satan's insinuation that true religion is boring and burdensome. Read Henry's Pleasantness of a Religious Life and see why Christians really are the happiest creatures on earth.
