45:22 PRAYER
Here are four great sermons (taken from Dr. Bahnsen’s series on 1 Peter) based on the key New Testament text which calls for all believers to defend the faith. Peter was only a fisherman, yet he could give a reasoned answer to any man who offered a challenge to the faith. So can you. These messages show you why and how you must do it. (CMF)
