First Peter was written to encourage persecuted believers, that they might conduct themselves courageously for Christ. Peter says there is a way to face trials that goes beyond mere survival—a path of victory that leads us into a closer walk with our loving heavenly Father.

In this first volume of Living Triumphantly: A Study of First Peter, Dr. Stanley begins by reminding us that trials are inevitable. No follower of Christ ever completely escapes adversity, distress, or even persecution. But if we are wise, we will turn to the Lord for guidance and direction when we are confronted with these challenges. This is an essential part of living the Christian life in a fallen world.

Volume 1 includes the following messages:

- “Triumphant Over Trials”
- “The Foundation of Our Security”
- “Proper Perspective in Trouble”
- “The Revelation of Our Salvation”
- “Readiness for the Rough Times”
- “The Believer’s Conduct”
