The Bibliography of Literature on First Peter gives comprehensive publication details of a categorized list of articles and books concerned with the exposition of the New Testament letter known as 1 Peter. The bibliography, which primarily presents works of modern scholarship but also includes important works which have appeared throughout the lengthy period of Christian interpretation, has been conceived with the needs of a variety of users in mind. It provides an extremely valuable reference tool for all those interested in a deeper understanding of this important document of early Christianity, and will meet the needs of researchers of all kinds, from lay students to the professional scholar. Not every work represented in this bibliography will be of equal use to all; but judicious selection on the basis of the helpful classification provided will save the researcher much time.

This is a story you won't put down. A story of how God calls: to individual women to begin the women's conference Heritage Keepers - to Lori Beckler, the founder of Heritage Keepers, who heard the call but was nearly derailed by Satan - to Kathy Troccoli, who felt compelled to phone Lori, though she never books her own engagements - to Sandi Patty, who proved to be a vital part of God's plan, and whose vulnerability will strengthen you - to Point of Grace, whose Heritage Keepers' story will thrill you. The same God is calling to you: My precious child, I love you. Even if you did not grow up in a godly home, you have a holy heritage, an inheritance more precious than silver. Embrace this heritage, that the next generation may know. Hidden truths spring to life as Dee parallels the biblical stories of our holy heritage, women like Sarah, the Hebrew midwives, and Miriam, with the faith stories of contemporary women. Each gripping chapter closes with an in-depth Bible study which can be done individually or with a small group of women. Dee's award-winning Bible studies are known for their depth of insight and their ability to strengthen friendships between women.
