The Eastern Cross/Library/Homilies on Hebrews
Some of the last sermons St. John Chrysostom preached in Constantinople, published after his death from his notes. Hebrews is the letter of Christ as our High Priest, and he draws out what that means for prayer, faith and endurance.
The chapters on faith and on the great cloud of witnesses are especially fine.
