Life Lessons from 1 and 2 Peter

OVER 2 MILLION SOLD IN THE LIFE LESSONS SERIES!

Has your peace been stolen? Dreams crushed? Hope lost? Life has a way of not turning out the way we want.

The disciple Peter knew what it was like to go through tough times. He endured threats, punishment, time in jail, beatings, and false words. He had seen enough to know how to stay strong in tough times. So he wrote a survival manual to show how we should act and respond when life isn’t fair. His words of wisdom are beacons of hope for making it through hard times. Peter’s counsel may surprise you. But it may be just what you need to sustain you when you find that you are between a rock and a hard place.

As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of Peter, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

• Our richest inheritance is not in this world—it waits in heaven.
• It is up to each Christian to remain pure.
• It is an honor to suffer for Christ.
• Satan fights against the growth and victory of believers.

The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God''s Word. Each lesson includes:
