Learn the new habit of love. Put on the mental armor that will make you strong to face suffering that may come.

Reviews

[Nancy DeValve · Rating 4 out of 5]

This Bible study guide is not a deep or complicated commentary on 1 & 2 Peter and Jude. Instead, N. T. Wright masterfully gives us a brief description of the book, then leads us through study questions that lead us to a deeper understanding of the book. This is a great guide for a beginning study of these books. I highly recommend.

Easy to lead Bible based discussions with this excellent book to help guide participants to understand the text and apply it to their own lives.

Really good group study. The questions were great for discussion and there’s plenty here to get a little bit deeper into these books.

I appreciate everything I have read by Wright. This is the first time I have used his Bible studies and found it very worthwhile. If you lead a small group and are looking for a guide through a New Testament book, I would look at this series before all others.
