A six-session Bible study guide with LICC's signature blend of real-life practicality, biblical scholarship, and a whole-life discipleship focus. In his letter to scattered groups of Christians in what is modern-day Turkey, the apostle Peter ignites imagination and inspires hope for the possibilities of everyday life in a complex world. Joe Warton is a warm and gracious guide through this six-session study, helping you to discover Peter's trove of wisdom for everyday living. This is a letter that is both exhilarating in its scope and intensely grounded in the grittiness of real life. Like those who first received Peter's letter, you will be challenged to see your daily context afresh and deeply encouraged to live confidently - Monday to Sunday - wherever you are. Perfect for on-your-own study or small groups, this is a beautiful, keep-able book, so everyone in your small group can have their own copy to make notes in, reflect further, and go deeper in study. Why not use 1 Peter as your next small group study? The Gateway Seven series offers a fresh encounter with God through seven biblical books, each representing a distinctive genre. Together they will deepen your understanding of the whole Bible and open a gateway to insights and implications that will have an impact on you and your life - seven days a week.

Confidence in the world is grounded in the gospel and our identity in Christ.
