Description
Impetuous and unreliable and yet at the same time bold, fearless, and devoted - Peter, fisherman, disciple, and apostle, combined in one person the deepest levels of spiritual experience. His first letter to the church reflects the maturity of a godly character tested and refined in the fires of opposition and persecution. Though the first readers of his letter were suffering persecution themselves, Peter reminded them of the promise and the privilege of "living peacefully" in Christ regardless of circumstances.

Summary
Dr. J. Allen Blair's devotional commentary on First Peter captures the spirit of encouragement and comfort that still speaks to all believers struggling with the complexities of life. Pastors and speakers will appreciate Dr. Blair's consistent illustration and application of the text; Christian readers will appreciate Dr. Blair's obvious pastoral spirit and attention to the concerns of daily life.

Excerpt
Today also, 1 Peter is a favorite book because of its practical approach to the needs of every believer. The problems of the ominous age in which we live, though they differ in nature, are no less complex than those of the apostolic Church. This little Epistle provides a splendid source of peace and comfort for all God's people who are perplexed and troubled. Truly we can say of 1 Peter, as Paul said of the Scriptures, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures have hope" (Romans 15:4).
