Query: Very useful for Chrisitan Growth

I have just recently completed a sermon series on 1 and 2 Peter. This volume was regularly used in my preparation for each message. I found as before the wisdom and insight of Dr, Macarthur to be very helpful in presenting the flow of Peter's epistle. Additionally Dr. Macarthur pastoral heart is clearly seen in this volume. But as always the usual complaint of his wordiness was again a problem to me. I own 90% of his NT commentary series and have used 90-95% of them in preaching or teaching situations. So I believe I am a fair critic of his work in this series. Dr. Macarthur has a real problem with cutting to the chase many times. If that isn't a problem for you great. If it is, just realize that you have to wade to get to shore sometimes
