Living Through the Struggle: 1 Peter's Lessons for Today (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781602650688)

Life isn't fair. Struggles surround us at every turn. Whether it is a failure to meet your own expectations to dealing with a terminal disease, the struggle is real. The realities for each situation are different, but they are all part of living in a fallen world. Living Through the Struggle makes it clear that pressing on, even though it is hard, is worth it.

Many theologians publish works on various books of the Bible that are frankly too heady and deep for most readers. Other less weighty works skip over the difficult passages. Writing about living through the struggle is not a theological exercise for Nightingale, rather he does so with experience and understanding of living with an uncurable disease. Furthermore, he has helped so many others navigate through tough times and find encouragement by applying the principles found in 1 Peter. In all things, Nightingale points the reader to Christ who is sufficient.

Living Through the Struggle is both practical and theologically deep. Short chapters include a portion of 1 Peter text, reflections, background information, and personal challenges for the reader to examine their lives in light of God's Word. It is ideal not only for personal use, but for pastors, counselors, and teachers.
