Honour, Fear, and Love distills the Spirit-inspired wisdom of 1 Peter and applies it to Christian living in the twenty-first century. It takes 1 Peter 2 verse 17 as a key verse and considers the implications of its four commands. The result is a highly practical and challenging call for Christians to know how and when to serve others, to speak about Christ, to submit to the authorities, and to suffer faithfully.

ENDORSEMENTS "In preaching through 1 Peter, I have found Honour, Fear, and Love, a really helpful guide in navigation. Coulter's explanation of 2:17 is illuminating, stimulating, and persuasive. I recommended the book to members in our church, one of whom is going to use it for small group bible-study. A great resource that brings out the relevance of 1 Peter for today." Dr Dan Strange, Crosslands Forum.
