The book of 1 Peter could have been written for our times—a time of antagonism toward biblical ethics, and the marginalization of biblical Christians. Into that culture—our culture—Peter speaks of hope and offers joy as he points believers home to heaven.
Juan Sanchez brings his experience of ministry in the US and Latin America, and his pastoral wisdom and insight, to this wonderful epistle—an epistle that every Christian needs to treasure today.
You can read through this commentary as a normal book, work through it devotionally, or use it as you prepare for teaching or preaching a passage. As you read, you’ll pay close attention to the text and clean ...insights into the original historical, cultural, and biblical context while gaining clear and grounded application for Christians today.
(Review written for '1 Peter For You')
Among all the 'For You" series I have gone through so far, this is probably one that doesn't bring so much in dept reflections, even though it contains accurate insights. It is a good and helpful guide for someone who studies 1 Peter the first time.

I have enjoyed many of the 'for you' series. This wasn't one of my favourites - I found it a touch dry/repetitive to be truthful - but nevertheless it provided much Godly teaching.
(Review written for '1 Peter For You')
We used this for our Small Group leaders to prepare in leading their groups through a series on 1st Peter. Like the others books I've used in this series, I found it to be practical, easy to read and full of useful insights and challenges. Yes it is slightly repetitive on the theme of suffering for your faith, but to be fair 1st Peter emphasises this theme repeatedly so I think it is pretty true to the text.
