Synopsis

Parting Counsels offers a clear, pastor’s guide to the opening of 2 Peter, with practical, faith‑strengthening insight.

This nonfiction work presents a careful exposition of the first chapter of the Second Epistle of Peter, paired with four additional discourses. Written from a long pastor’s perspective, it aims to help readers understand the text’s call to steadfast faith, growth in virtue, and confident living before God.

In this edition, the author grounds his teaching in the apostle’s own premises: that the gospel has been reliably witnessed, that divine truth is not private interpretation, and that the surest way to endure is to hold to the prophetic word. The volume blends doctrinal clarity with experiential, practical application, making it suitable for study, sermon prep, or personal growth.
What you will experience

• A clear outline of the opening section of 2 Peter, including the call to add virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, and more to faith.
• Discussion of the apostle’s resolutions—how he intends to keep the readers mindful and prepared for life and death.
• Exploration of the grounds for these resolutions, including eyewitness testimony, prophecies, and miraculous signs.
• Four added discourses addressing assurance, salvation, the Christian economy, and ministry concerns.

Ideal for readers who study Scripture devotionally or end‑user pastors shaping teaching series, this edition provides steady guidance anchored in the text and its historical context, while remaining accessible to general readers seeking practical faith formation.
