Hebrews Bible Study Book: The Nearness of King Jesus

by Lisa Harper

The Book of Hebrews is a rich, dense section of Scripture that can intimidate the most scholarly biblical student. But Lisa Harper makes digging into Hebrews fun and doable, as only she can, without losing an ounce of depth. Hebrews was a sermon for a specific people and culture in the midst of martyrdom and persecution, but is also so relevant for us today, reminding us to continue walking toward Jesus regardless of our culture or our circumstances. Join Lisa as she journeys through this bridge between the Old and New Testaments to get to the heart of the Jesus is our accessible King. He is not a faraway God, but an up-close Redeemer who draws near to us. Hebrews helps women make the connection between God the Father and God the Son and reminds us that Jesus is supreme, but He is also compassionate, empathetic, and loving to no end. (7 sessions)

Lisa is hilarious and a wonderful story teller. In this study there are pieces called “Extra Credit for Bible Nerds, Biblical Illustrator Articles” I found these nuggets to be so special, and learned a great deal about the book of Hebrews as well as my relationship with my Lord, Jesus.

The video series was much better. The book was too shallow and wandering.
