Book Four in the Growing in Faith Series
Looking for a clear, practical, verse-by-verse Bible study through 1 & 2 Peter?
Whether you are studying on your own, leading a small group, teaching a Sunday School class, or discipling others, 1 & 2 Peter: Faith Under Pressure will help you understand Peter's letters while encouraging you to stand firm in your faith through trials, opposition, and spiritual pressure.
The letters of 1 & 2 Peter were written to believers facing suffering, persecution, and increasing challenges to their faith. Drawing from his own life of failure, restoration, and faithful service to Christ, Peter encourages Christians to pursue holiness, endure suffering with hope, resist false teaching, grow in spiritual maturity, and confidently await the return of Jesus Christ.
How can Christians remain faithful during trials and persecution? What does it mean to live a holy life in an unholy world? Why does God allow believers to suffer? How can Christians recognize and resist false teachers? How should the hope of Christ's return shape the way we live today?
These are among the important questions Peter addresses, and they remain deeply relevant for believers today.
In 1 & 2 Peter: Faith Under Pressure, James Kiely walks through both letters one passage at a time, providing clear verse-by-verse commentary that explains the biblical text and helps readers faithfully apply God's truth to everyday Christian life.

A Flexible Study Resource for personal Bible study, small groups, Sunday School classes, adult Bible fellowships, discipleship, and family study.
Throughout this study, you will explore important themes such as enduring suffering with hope, living a holy life, submitting to God in difficult circumstances, standing firm against spiritual opposition, recognizing false teachers, growing in grace and knowledge, trusting God's promises, and living in expectation of Christ's return.
Peter repeatedly reminds believers that suffering does not mean God has abandoned them. Instead, Christians are called to remain faithful, holy, watchful, and hopeful as they entrust themselves to the One who judges righteously and keeps His promises.
More than simply explaining the text, this study is designed to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ and learn to live out the truths of Scripture with greater understanding, courage, confidence, and faithfulness.
Whether you are studying 1 & 2 Peter for the first time or returning for a deeper understanding, 1 & 2 Peter: Faith Under Pressure provides a clear and practical companion for studying two powerful New Testament letters written to strengthen believers in difficult times.
