by Warren W. Wiersbe

Be Hopeful (1 Peter)
How to Make the Best of Times Out of Your Worst of Times
by Warren W. Wiersbe
Part of the Be series
Hope is not a sedative; it is a shot of adrenaline, a blood transfusion. Through clever word pictures like this, bestselling author and former pastor Warren Wiersbe preaches the same message Peter preached so long ago. Turning each enlightening page, believers gain increasing confidence in true Hope, a God in whom they don't just wish for eternal life. In Scripture, hope means the promise of salvation for those who have accepted Him and His Son's death and resurrection.
Christians who possess this hope and live as though they possess it will learn godly submission, holy living, and harmony with other believers. These qualities will prepare them for what Peter paints in his epistle as inevitable-suffering and persecution. Though Peter is writing to warn a people who would soon be under the tyranny of a heathen Roman emperor, some level of suffering will always be a part of the believers' journey. A time is soon coming when living the "comfortable" Christian life will be far more costly than the life willing to give up all. Peter's encouraging letter to a battered church of sojourners in a land that they didn't claim as their own is still applicable to the trials we face today.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity, writes celebrated author and respected pastor Warren Wiersbe. In his first of two books covering Acts, “Be Dynamic” focuses on Peter's ministry, mostly in Israel and centered in Jerusalem. Through explaining Luke's record of the Gospel's advancement and church expansion, Wiersbe opens the door to understanding the work of the church today.
Using hard-hitting quotes from recognized names like St. Augustine and John Bunyan, Wiersbe proves himself as a well-read author and gifted writer. The depth of his study is astounding, yet the accessibility of his text for every age group is evident as well. He proves what Luke intended-for Acts to be interpreted not as the apostles' glorious acts, but as the life-changing acts of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit lives in believers today, the same God calls followers to expand His church, and the same basic problems still arise within the church, but the same power available then is still available now to change the nations. Learn how to be a bold witness for Christ through the explosive power of the Holy Spirit given to the church for the continued spread of the Good News.

Living a Life That Counts for God
