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."

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.

I love how this study walks you through each passage with word definitions and cross references. It really probes thinking and encourages daily practice of his word.

Life Application Bible Commentary on Hebrews (and also on all the other New Testament Chapters) is one of the most comprehensive and inspiring commentaries you can buy. It is a verse by verse commentary.

My men's afternoon study group used this book for our study of Hebrews. This book is EXCELLENT. Enough said.

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

This used study guide was in good shape with a few blanks filled in in the intro area. I bought just to evaluate whether our group would use it for our study this fall. I didn't want to pay full price just to evaluate.

The price for used with shipping was half of retail which you can get new from Christian Book Distributors (with shipping extra). So, if you need a quantity of new study guides...CBD is the way go on this Navigators series.
