Guidebook for Time and Eternity

Peter writes in a culture working hard to suppress the church. There are powerful forces at work trying to extinguish Christianity, thinking it's a menace to society. He writes with both confidence and courage: Don't worry about those who are against you. Don't fear what men think or what they can do. God can turn your suffering into glory, so let the truth and your witness ring out. Peter knows from personal experience how difficult times can strengthen a person in his or her faith. He writes here to give us a guidebook for time and eternity.
