Hebrews

The book was in physically good shape but written in up to page 64. For a participating devotional this wasn’t a good thing.

One of the book covers was creased from a bend. Not that that affects the book content, but the quality of the product should be part of the review. As far the study, we are only in the fourth week, but so far it follows the life change format and delves deep. Not daily assignments...it's really more of an "in one sitting" type of study. We are enjoying it. It is as much as you want to put into it. There are extra questions on the sides that allow you to study related scriptures. We really enjoy the paragraphs of text that fill you in on background of the time or the words used in the original language. There are also ideas for small group study worship and the life application questions allow for personal goals.

This commentary on the book of Hebrews is excellent. If you want to know more about growing your faith in Christianity - I highly recommend this book by the late Ray Stedman.

Good supplement to my study on Hebrews. Not a detailed study but good thoughts.

Ray Stedman spent most of his life doing expository preaching to church congregations. He was, however a very solid scholar who read and studied widely --and remembered everything he read. This commentary, written near the end of his life, is meaty and tightly packed--worthy of careful study one page at a time. What emerges is a picture of Hebrews as an invitation to an exciting New Covenant adventure follwing Jesus our Trailblazer out of this world towards the same heavenly city Abraham foresaw. I often use Ray's book in teaching Hebrews to college students who right away catch the vision of the open-ended adventure we have been given under the New Covenant. Ray is never obscure, never stuffy never "merely academic."
