book cover


Christians in the west have had an easy ride for the last couple of centuries, with freedom to practice their faith, meet together, read and teach the Bible and evangelise. This is unusual compared with the experience of most Bible-believing Christians throughout history and worldwide today. But things could be changing. For how much longer can these freedoms be guaranteed?

Wise Christians understand that opposition and suffering are normal for the church and are prepared for anything. That's why Christians today need the message of 1 Peter - a letter to first-century believers surrounded by trials and hostility.

Why does God let this happen? How can my faith survive? How should I treat those who cause me suffering? These questions and more are covered in five sessions, full of practical application. Whatever happens, let's be prepared, so that our faith 'may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed.'

Very useful booklet providing back ground information as well as thought provoking questions. I used it on my own and would possibly have got more out of it using it in a small group discussion

Very good practical application of spiritual teaching.
Review by Peter & Jenni Old | 08.06.2007

This short series of sessions opened up the book of 1 Peter and made it accessible and applicable to our lives today - we used the studies in our home group and every member of the group agreed that it was amongst the best resource yet. We are a very diverse group in age, background and Christian maturity but there was something for everyone. I would definitely recommend it.

Review by Anonymous | 12.04.2007

Our church used this booklet as a bit of an experiment to study 1 Peter. instead of one person preparing and passing on the message we got everyone a copy so that we could all turn up prepared. The guide was good for a quick overview study of Peter. The chapters contained a lot to get through is a single session with a large number of people and are probably better suited to individual study. Even so it generated some really helpful discussion on a range of topics. We would certainly consider using another publication in the series.

brilliant
Review by Mrs Sarah Allen | 11.02.2006

Our bible study group is thrilled that you have published this range. On 1 Peter we found that Tim Chester's questions drew us into the text immediately and allowed us to see thematic links as well as interesting details. Application questions were relevant and uncheesy.
