Meekness: Cultivating the Imperishable Quality of a Gentle and Quiet Spirit (Audiobook)

Listen to the audiobook of Matthew Henry Meekness: Cultivating the Imperishable Quality of a Gentle and Quiet Spirit. Just as Andrew Murray’s book Humility is a classic on cultivating humility, so is Henry’s work on meekness for those pursuing it. While the book may feel repetitive at times, it is like a cloth repeatedly scrubbing a spot that wasn’t clean the first time. By the end, this thorough approach will have greatly helped you cultivate meekness in your own life.

Matthew Henry writes, "there is no other topic I could bring to you where I feel more likely to succeed than this, for meekness contributes so much to the comfort and peace of our souls, making our lives sweet and pleasant. If you are wise in this, you are wise for yourself. The aim of this discourse has been to persuade you not to be your own tormentors but to govern your passions so that they do not become furies to your soul. The virtue I have been recommending to you is universally acknowledged as excellent and beautiful. Will you embrace it and wear it, so that others may know you are Christ's disciples and you may be found among the sheep on His right hand on the great day when Christ’s angels will gather out of His kingdom all that offends?"
