Bible Commentary Life Changing

This book has completely changed my perspective on suffering.

I've always understood that God uses suffering in our lives to mold us into the person He wants us to be. But I never fully grasped how the proof of our faith is so precious to God.

Now, when I encounter trials, and we've faced a couple of big ones in the last few months, I am truly excited about the prospect of giving God a gift that is precious to Him - my absolute trust, no matter the circumstance - the proof of my faith.

Highly recommended

Just finished this up which means this Sunday will be my last sermon through 1 Peter. Macarthur's commentary is a tremendous help, especially in seeing the breakdown of Peter's thoughts. I found Macarthur's insights helpful as usual. :-)
