Publisher's Synopsis
Have you experienced suffering in mind, body, or spirit? Do you wonder why an all-loving Creator would allow humankind to suffer?
The longer we suffer the more we begin to question our faith. In response, some folks stop going to church, some folks stop relying on the comfort found in faith. Others may try to convince you that your suffering is all your fault.
In this resource, part story, part study guide, part commentary, you will read about St. Peter's journey of faith found in the New Testament. You will uncover Peter's joy while suffering for his faith.
By reading Peter's two letters along with using this guide, you will discover:
- An answer to the question of why faithful people suffer.
- What caused Peter to suffer.
- How like Peter, you can find joy even when suffering is so real.
- The importance of belonging to a group of people who share their journeys of faith in safe, nurturing discussion.
- How you can go from doubt to a confident faith, turning suffering to joyful service.
An experienced teacher, coach, speaker, and for the last 20 years an ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church, Jonathan has been active in formal and informal ministry settings. He writes for those who consider themselves people of faith as well as for those who are seeking new spiritual knowledge.
