I admit I was a little leery of a Bible study specifically meant to be application focused. I feared it might be too much focused on "me" like many studies I have picked up. I tend to want a study to teach me more about God and his attributes and his redemptive plan for man. This study did just that.
I was pleased that the commentary section of the study was actually quite good and detailed. It was nice to have the Scripture text on the same page as the extensive commentary. Some nice charts and tables were included as well.
I especially appreciated that the editors commented when certain changes were made in the New Living Translation from the original manuscripts. For instance, the translation often changed "brothers" to "brothers and sisters".
The questions in the study section of the book are divided into 13 sections. Some are questions from the text while others encourage the participant to reflect on his or her life. Both types of questions are helpful and should make the meaning of the text more memorable.
I liked the small size of the book which made it very easy to carry around as I was completing the study.
I believe I will go through this study with my 9-year old son once we begin our homeschool year. He is ready for more than just Bible stories at this point and I believe we will both enjoy going through the study together.
In summary, the Hebrews Life Application book is a good Bible study for anyone who wants to dig deeper and find the treasures written in the Bible to help us to glorify God by living our life as followers of the true Christ written of in the Bible.[[ASIN:1414325649 Hebrews (Life Application Bible Studies: NLT)]]

I am trying to get homeshool parents awear of what is happening in the homeschool world here in Oregon.
Oregon Teacher's Union is trying to do away with virual school program for children in grade k-5.
We are helping with getting a petition knnown for Oregon residents. We feel that parents should have the right to choose in what way their child is schooled. If you agree with this over view of the issue please check out my blog. There is a link to the news channel that aired a story about my husband and I incounter with the school district in our area, also there is a linkk to the petition for all Oregon residents.
