Six Bible studies on 1 Peter that will inspire you to live with joy and hope in the face of hardships.
Part of the Good Book Guides series.
The Christian life, lived well, is not easy. That's because we don't belong in this world. Peter writes to churches who were being increasingly marginalized and misunderstood by their surrounding culture—to churches just like ours. Yet he did not tell them to retreat, but to keep journeying on, and to do so not with gritted teeth but with joy and hope.
These six sessions will inspire and equip you to live in that same way as you journey home. Use alone or alongside 1 Peter For You.

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.
The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.
The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!
Every purchase was done in a simple, efficient and easy way. Good job!
