Running Life's Marathon: A Practical Commentary on the Letter to the Hebrews - Paperback

by Paul Wakely (Author)

Based on a series of bible study conversations, Paul Wakely leads us through the sometimes confusing and challenging letter to the Hebrews in an informal and personal style. Writing with many years of experience in church leadership, he explains where the developing themes have practical implications for our day to day lives as Christians; the letter emerges as a profoundly pastoral document with immediate relevance for our own times. This letter exalts Jesus as the great king and high priest of the new covenant, and invites us to draw near to the throne of grace of the Father through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. But how do we do that? What steps can we take to encounter more of God's grace in our lives? Why do some Christians fall away and lose their faith? How can we find our true identity as beloved sons and daughters of our heavenly Father? This practical commentary reflects the author's life journey in discovering the answers to these and many other questions.
