The most bitter failure in Peter’s life occurred when he denied his Lord in the palace of Caiaphas, but the resurrected Christ graciously forgave and restored Peter by the Sea of Galilee and then commissioned him to strengthen his brethren. Peter fulfilled this command as the Holy Spirit moved him to pen the epistles that bear his name. They were written to the people of God who were suffering great persecution. In this two-volume set, Clarence Sexton shares with the reader encouraging words on living as strangers in a world hostile to God and His children.
A beautiful full-length Bible study book is published for each thirteen-week series. After reading and marking the Scripture passages which correspond to the lesson, the teacher will read the Bible lesson that corresponds with the lesson the Sunday School class is studying. As they read, students should mark key statements or paragraphs to review later. Class members may also desire to obtain this book for further reading.
