Reckless Faith: Living Passionately as Imperfect Christians
Bible studies on the life of Peter examine his letters, the book of Acts, and the Gospels.
He was impulsive, arrogant, and passionate to a fault. Yet Jesus chose him to lead the early church. Peter, one of the most colorful of Jesus’ disciples, paints the picture of a man who wants desperately to be holy but is hampered by being all too human. Sound familiar?
Reckless Faith looks at this caustic, cocky, cowardly, chosen man and what his life has to say to Christians today. Through a study of his letters, the book of Acts, and the Gospels, Peter springs off the page as one who held nothing back, lived large, and was used by God despite his most sinful nature.
This Fisherman Resource includes author commentary, interactive questions, and opportunities for reflection as you discover how God allows us to come to him as holy and human. Great for individual study or in a group, Reckless Faith will show you that being a follower of God doesn’t necessarily mean having it all together.

A Greatly Informative Study on Peter
This book is such a great blend of teaching and asking questions that lead to your own deep study and perspectives. I bought this book thinking it would delve into a study of Peter, not knowing it was a Bible study book as well and it excelled at both.

Peter’s Life and You
This is an excellent study using Peter’s life as an imperfect christian. It discusses his life struggles and the transformation power of God in his life. I used it as a guide for preparation to Wednesday night prayer and bible study.

A study on Peter
Not as good as I would have liked. Very interesting though. Would be good for a group study as it has lots of study questions.

September 8, 2020Originally I gave this title 2 stars. I am revising my stars to zero.
The reason I am doing so is that since reading this title, several things about my faith journey and expression have changed and I no longer subscribe to evangelical ideologies.
