Hebrews: It's Not How You Start--It's How You Finish by Dr. Kathy Stewart - REVIEW

I have since I began my career, an ongoing interest in the book of Hebrews. It was the first book from which I would memorize chapters, and was among the first books which I taught. Thus, I was intrigued at being able to review this book and to see what it said. As I began reading, thoughts familiar and similar greeted me and I found this welcome. An intellectual approach with logical thought and pursuit, the book does a good job of presenting its subject and summarizing the contents of the biblical book. Dr. Stewart has done her research. The simplicity of the book seems to struggle with its presentation though. It is thorough and keeps to the point of the book of Hebrews, yet, I found myself wanting more from this work. I was disappointed that Dr. Stewart didn't delve further into the thoughts that she presents. If you are looking for a type of “study guide” to the book of Hebrews, then I heartily recommend it. It would also be a good book for small group discussion forums. However, if you are looking for something to increase your in depth knowledge of the book, you will find pieces of it here but likely will want to pursue it in another book.
