This is the first time in our house group that we have used a Good Book Bible study guide, and we were glad we did. This was probably the best Bible study guide that we have ever used.

The study helped us get an overall grasp of the message of 1 Peter. It was also challenging, and the format of the studies encouraged everyone to participate in the discussions. The 'Getting Personal' sections were particularly liked - taking each topic into the realm of practical application.

Because this Good Book Guide was so well received, I have bought three more Good Book Bible studies for the coming year.

This Study is excellent. There is enough in each section for two to three nights of study. It exposes the central points well, connects them to the Gospel in a way that lets you see that the Gospel is for the whole of life and not just conversion. The way that the end of the study turns what you have learned into prayer has been very helpful. The guide at the back gives further points for developing the questions as the one in the guide book are more general and it helps to have extra questions to draw out people's own experiences and stories. Strong focus on community as one would expect from Mr Chester, the series editor. Overall this has been all that our group of new and mature Christians have needed.

Our Girl's small group were very excited about starting this Study on 1st Peter, as the topics open for discussion, seemed very relevant to our ever day lives. However we were very disappointed overall; the questions were quite confusing and seemed quite repetitive. All in all, we felt that out of all the studies that we have done, this is the one that we learnt the least from. Sorry for being so negative, but there are far better study guides available from the Good Book Company

We have used this book in our cell group. There is a wide age span in the group 30 - 82 and everyone is ejoying it and finding the discussion generated great! thanks for a super resource.

We found this a very challenging series of studies, as well as an encouragement in living out the Christian life. The studies provoked quite a lot of discussion in our groups and (hopefully!) have equipped us to be more able to deal with the issues of living in our society

Looking forward to using this with my house group. Very helpful and well set out for leaders to follow.

I have been working through this with a young Christian to inspire and encourage them, and have found myself being encouraged and challenged more than I ever expected! Definitely worth working through however mature in your faith you are!

This book is a good foundation for a house group study, but as always requires group to contribute.

The study guide was well arranged with helpful leader's notes. The question stimulated some interesting discussion.I found some of the extra questions and deeper issues helpful. It was the first time I had used a study guide from the series, but I look forward to others in the series in the future.

so far this study has been thought provoking and challenging. the leaders notes really help with the preparation, and the sessions have produced lively debate.

We have only covered 2 sessions, but this has really help when i read peter its not just words but helps to give the understanding as the relevance, would really recomend this

We are using this guide in our home group and have found it very helpful for digging into God's Word. It has provided for very interesting discussions!

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

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.

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.

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.
