The book of Hebrews is written to a group of urban, first-century Christians who were struggling with fear and discouragement because their lives were so filled with troubles.
The question this book asks is if God loves us so much, why are our lives so hard? In almost every passage, the answer it gives is that fear and discouragement can be dealt with by looking at Jesus.
Hebrews 2 says if you really want to deal with fear and discouragement in your life, you need to see that Jesus is 1) the king who gets involved with us, 2) the captain who faces death for us, and 3) the brother who is proud of us.

Tim and Kathy Keller wrote The Meaning of Marriage to face the complexities of commitment with the wisdom of God. It's written to help spouses use biblical wisdom to grow through the trials of matrimony, but it also gives people who are single a realistic yet glorious view of what marriage is and can be.
