We experience the hardships and sufferings that often accompany living as such in a hostile world. Yet in and through Christ we have a living hope and are called to lives of faithful witness to the grace and goodness of our God as we \"follow in his steps\" (2:21).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis in-depth study aims to lead believers into a deeper understanding of the letter of First Peter, especially how it leads us as suffering sojourners to be characterized by a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We found it refreshing and stimulating to have two resources available for the study of every passage: an exposition (sermon) and a set of questions for understanding and application. As we worked our way through the letter, we were guided into deeper understanding. It did not get tiresome even though it moved slowly through the text. Warmly recommended for Bible groups who are willing to put in a little bit of extra effort!\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003eArjan de Visser\u003c\/strong\u003e, Emeritus professor of Ministry and Mission, CRTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 130\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Lucerna\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Den Hollander, William","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48324905009393,"sku":"9780995065994","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/8731\/8425\/files\/9780995065994.png?v=1781704129","url":"https:\/\/reformedbookservices.com\/products\/1-peter-living-hope-for-suffering-sojourners-bible-study-guide","provider":"Reformed Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
