1 Peter: Living in the Real World
Five studies for individuals or groups
Description
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.'

Customer Reviews
Good and easy to use.
used book in Home group 10 aged 34-73. Found good starting point for discussions and well received by group. Did some at home to prepare for following week. Took two weeks for one section. Good that it relates to life today as a Christian.
Just felt some of the questions overlapped and were a bit repetative.
