Hebrews For You: Giving You an Anchor for the Soul

We are all tempted to drift away from Jesus, but in the book of Hebrews God gives us an anchor: a detailed understanding of how and why Jesus is better than anything else.

He explains the Old Testament background, gives plenty of application for our lives today, and shows us how Jesus is the fulfilment of all God's work on earth. He encourages us to live by faith in Jesus—the only anchor for our souls.

This accessible, absorbing commentary opens up this book for new and mature Christians alike. You can read through this book as a normal book, work through it devotionally, or use it as you prepare for teaching or preaching a passage.

Editorial Reviews

Kruger provides clear explanations of complex historical and spiritual concepts, and helps readers understand Hebrews in a deeper way. He includes practical illustrations and application ideas throughout, and balances a theological focus with an understanding of how Hebrews should change our lives.

Bethany Davidson

Kruger takes you on a journey through the book of Hebrews and as each chapter unfolds you cannot help but have a greater appreciation for the superiority of the Person and work of Jesus. Something that makes this book one to recommend is that it serves a number of purposes, whether you read this from cover to cover, as a reference book or as a study guide you will find it helpful and fun to read (I would definitely use this for a small group bible study).

Craig Green

Hebrews for You” is an excellent resource. It reminds us that the Bible is one whole book, inspired by God, and if we apply ourselves to learn and understand the context, we are better equipped in our understanding: Because as Hebrews unfolds, drawing in these Old Testament truths, we see with fresh eyes the unity of scripture and the beauty of God’s story.
