The most wonderful commentary/devotional I have read! This book takes you verse by verse through Hebrews. Among the lessons learned: God's rest = ceasing from our own self-efforts, the importance of growth, Law vs. Grace, the four cornerstones of faith = Divinity of Christ, the Incarnation, the Atonement on the cross, and the Ascension to the Throne, the path of following Christ = humility, meekness, obedience and death, the meaning of Jesus' death, why Christ had to become a man, etc. The list of lessons is endless depending on who you are and where you are in your walk with Christ! Read the book and discover your own lessons.

Who would take the liberty to 'rewrite' someone's words in the name of updating them? Murray is eloquent, and hardly difficult enough to need modernizing. Every page I compare of this update with Murray's original leaves me sorely disappointed. The update removes subtleties, turns Murray's eloquence into dumbed down language, and sometimes just plain changes the meaning. No one updates Shakespeare. This update only gives a rough idea of Murray's intent, and often changes the meaning to a Gnostic drive for power. To hear what Murray really intended, by all means find an old used copy. With this rewrite you can still hear many wonderful things Murray has to say, but it really is second best ... or worse.

this book isn't an exhaustive commentary but rather a enlightning devotional. Andrew Murray speaks from his relationship with God in the holy of holies, writing about the wonderful truths of hebrews - the rest of God, the new covenant, Melchizidek our great High priest, the holy of holies - all of these truths are the result of the relationship we have with Jesus Christ. Jesus is our rest, He is our high Priest, He is the Holy of Holies - its all about Jesus and the grace which He has lavished on us through the blood of the eternal covenant - "let us be diligent to enter that rest" (Hebrews 4:11), the rest which is the result of the relationship we have with Jesus.

...to know who Jesus is and what He does. Murray, in this wonderful exposition of the letter to the Hebrews, explains many necessary things. This book has edified my life a lot. Of course, our "must" book is the Bible, but this one helps a lot.

Pastor Murray's work "Holiest of All" could serve as either a devotional, or a commentary on the book of Hebrews.

Central to the apostle Paul's opus magnum is the Deity of Jesus Christ, and the victorious life that is available to the believer who enters into the Holy of Holies.

Andrew Murray does an excellent job of rightly dividing the Word to bring out scriputural interpretations that are applicable to the daily life of the saints.

A friend lent me this book and I thought 500 something pages, no way, but as soon as I started reading it...wow! You just gotta love it! It's setup devotional style. Read a chapter a day and you'll have it licked in no time!

This book is so full and deep and rich...my friend and I have been studying Hebrews together using this book for almost a year! Sad that there is such a dirth of depth in the Word anymore. Thank goodness for books such as this!

IT VERY SCHOLARLY WRITTEN AT THE SAME TIME IT VERY EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY ANY LAYITY.IT IS A CLASSIC OF ANDREW MURRAY

Besides the Bible this is the best book I have ever read. Very helpful for a new christian.
