I love outlines, however, the Bible Epistle to the Hebrews has often eluded my efforts to corral it with an outline.

I think I like outlines because, once I create one that works for me, then I can re-read and remember the content better. I can also more easily spot similarities or contrasts between this piece and a different project I may have outlined another day (like the Book of Revelation, for instance).

Now, with the help of Robert Shank in his book, Life in the Son, I think I have an outline that gives me the Aha! feeling for the Epistle to the Hebrews.

Try this and see if it helps you in reading the Bible book of Hebrews.
