This is a good commentary on First Peter going verse by verse. The commentary originally appeared in a weekly Church of God newsletter, but I think it is a good read for any Christian. I used it as part of my daily reading, reading a verse or two and the commentary every evening. I received a free copy from Goodreads but my opinions are my own.
