Called to Suffer: The Necessity of Suffering in Christian Formation in First Peter - Hardcover

by Frans-Johan Pienaar (Author), Corné J. Bekker (Foreword by)

If you walk down the aisle in the Christian growth section of your local bookstore, you will be spoiled for choice. However, what you will struggle to find is a book on how suffering plays a part in one's Christian growth. This book seeks to bring a helpful corrective to the current trend in Christianity that views suffering as something to be avoided entirely. It dives into the letter of First Peter to explicate how Peter envisioned suffering as not only helpful but necessary for true Christian formation.
