The constant pressure of preparation in my "normal" week leads me to think that there must be times that the chef loves to have a wonderful meal prepared for them, were they can just sit down and enjoy. I feel this way reading this commentary. It is solid doctrinally, not overly heavy intellectually, just perfect to sit down and enjoy the clear teaching of God's Word; direct, clear, accessible and faithful. Thank you for producing this series. I will be sure to continue with the collection.

I love the books and teaching from this well-known author, David Platt. This Matthew commentary reminds me of his famous Secret Church sermon simulcasts, which the author compares to drinking from a fire hose, there is so much Biblical Truth and teaching in a concise place. This book has the usual intensity from David Platt, and great spiritual insights that are always thought provoking and challenging for all Christians who love to have help in growing more mature in their Christian walk. I recommend this to anybody who is already a David Platt reader. This is also a great start for anybody who is new to reading Bible Commentaries. This little paperback is stuffed chock full of fine tuned landmarks from Matthew, Platt explains the overall composition of Matthew, as well as teaching the most weighty details within Matthew. I will recommend this to any friend, I am thinking about just buying extra copies to give to friends, I am sure they will like this book. This book could only be better if it came in hardcover, but you cannot beat the quality of content at this price. It is even a nice printing job, with good paper. I think you will like this book as much as you like anything else by David Platt.

I have purchased several commentaries and most of them are not worth the paper they are written on, however this one is . It is very readable ,and full of golden nuggets. I intent to purchase more of the Christ centered exposition commentaries .

I bought this on the basis of a review, looking for something that would have some depth. Disappointing. I will never buy in this commentary series again.
