About this ebook
Christianity is hard work, and believers face daily influences from many external sources. To fulfill God’s mission Christians may encounter strong opposition. The opposing force may include friends, family, and others who greatly influence our lives.
Have you ever felt pressured to look or behave a certain way? Have you excluded someone fearing others in your group might not accept them? Peer pressure is a topic usually discussed in connection with teens. However, adults also long for acceptance, hunger for compliments, and yearn to be part of a group, a longing that can lead to adverse behavior.
Read the bible study eBook 'Adult Peer Pressure: Who is Influencing You?' to see the impact of negative peer pressure from a biblical perspective and learn how to overcome its influence. Contains a helpful discussion guide for reading groups.
