Peter's teachings written to the early Church come alive and become relevant to Christian life in the present world. Mr. Ruppert doesn't shy away from tough theological issues such as election and assurance of salvation. He brings a biblical view of actual persecution and suffering while offering insight into the hope of the Christian faith. Salvation and living holy lives in this present age are frequent topics. This is only a summary of the first chapter! Laced with Scripture, Mr. Ruppert relates many passages to the topics he explores by examining both First and Second Peter verse by verse. He writes primarily in the first person as he examines how the Bible applies to himself. His insights will be a blessing to anyone who desires a closer walk with the Lord. Study questions are provided in the appendix for those would like to use this book for a small group study. http://rayruppert.com/
