Don E. Atkinson wrote Day by Day with Hebrews to unpack the spiritual truths the author endeavored to communicate to his original readers/hearers. Don achieves this goal by dealing sequentially with every verse in Hebrews, resulting in 174 thought-provoking devotionals. As Don journeys through Hebrews, he consistently notes and explains key theological themes, contrasts, metaphors, types, comparisons, and rhetorical questions found in this sermon addressed to messianic Jews of the first century AD. He concludes each daily entry with a ""Thought for the Day,"" to help his readers reflect on biblical truths and apply them to their lives.
If readers actively use the abundant biblical knowledge presented in his devotional, as they engage with Hebrews, Atkinson is convinced they will ""Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"" (2 Peter 3:18a).
