Book Description

Series: The BE Series Commentary | Publication Date: October 1, 1982

How to Win When Fiery Trials Come

The people who first read Peter's epistle were familiar with suffering and persecution because of their loyalty to Christ. But Peter warned that something new would soon happen: a "fiery trial" of official persecution was about to begin. Peter wanted to tell them how they could be triumphant for the glory of God. We can expect to suffer for our faith, but we can also be hopeful. God's grace is ours for the asking! Suffering in the will of God leads to the glory of God.

We can prepare for the best of God's blessings rather than fear the worst of man's hatred.

Look to Jesus Christ and BE HOPEFUL

This review is from: Be Hopeful (1 Peter): How to Make the Best of Times Out of Your Worst of Times (The BE Series Commentary) (Paperback)

As I read the new testament books of the bible and study carefully what it says and how to apply it to my life I usually turn to Warren Wiersbe for a great commentary and devotional. 1 Peter can be a bit overwhelming with all the references to submission and to suffering and rejoicing. Weirsbe's comments added clarity and devotional insight to a topic that is hard to grasp without time and repetition on the truth therein. If you are going to be using 1 Peter in group study I would highly recommend this BE HOPEFUL as a valuable resource for all. God Bless You as you study and apply! 4 stars not 5 because i would have liked MORE of it!!!

I've read 5 chapters into this commentary and love it so far. 1 Peter is one of my favorite books of the Bible. 1 Peter is a short read, but I love how Warren Wiersbe explains deeper insights and brings a personal and modern perspective.
