"This is one of the rare commentaries that both expounds the Bible accurately and applies it tellingly. It is all the more important because through his letter, Peter speaks to the Western church today." — D.A. Carson
Join Juan Sanchez as he opens up the book of 1 Peter, helping you get to grips with its meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today.
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.

Commendations
Expositions that simultaneously expound a biblical text accurately and apply it to the target audience tellingly are rare. This is one of the rare ones. It is all the more important because through it Peter speaks to the Western church in the twenty-first century: God is preparing his people for the privilege of suffering service in the light of the grace that has been revealed in Christ Jesus and of the glory that is yet to come. — D.A. Carson, Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Wheaton; President of The Gospel Coalition
