The Most Holy Place by Jeremy D Vogan Book Review

About the Book:


"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to us by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son."

With these words, the writer of Hebrews draws us into one of the most profound and astonishing books in all of Holy Scripture. Angels, devils, signs and wonders, solemn warnings, the bodies of the defiant fallen in the wilderness, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God, a new high priest arising after the order of Melchizedek, the two unchangeable things by which God swears His faithfulness to us, the fulfillment of the pattern shown to Moses on Mount Sinai, a new Covenant written on our hearts, a new and living Way that fulfills the shadow of the Law, the dazzling array of those who by faith have conquered, our slow but sure approach to Mount Zion and the City of the consuming fire of the Living God; and, lifted high above all of these, the person and work of Jesus Christ, Who is the same yesterday, today and forever.

The Most Holy Place is a daily prayer meditation and OT/NT Biblical synthesis based on the book of Hebrews, verse by verse, Monday through Saturday for fifty-two weeks. It is intended to be an aid to consistent and continuing reflection on the finished work of Jesus applied by the Holy Spirit in your life. May the Lord through this book continue to equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

My Review:

I really like Vogan's unique approach to going through a book of the Bible verse by verse. I had often heard of praying through the Scriptures but this book gives a whole new way of doing it. Vogan incorporates information from the Old Testament in his devotions, especially as it is directly related to the Hebrew passage. The prayerful devotions are almost poetic in style and a pleasure to read through. They affirm the truths of the gospel and are very encouraging.

I highly recommend this book. Hebrews is often a neglected book of the Bible. Vogan's insightful devotional prayers bring it alive. The book is also a good example of how readers can pray their own way through Scripture.

My rating: 5/5 stars.
