Honestly if you toss out our Apostolic Doctrine and the Gospel (Acts and John) and you are asking me the most important book of the Bible about just being a Christian (post salvation) 2 Peter gets my vote.
To me this is the most underrated book in the bible but when you start looking at what it says, it encompasses everything the bible as a whole talks about as far as living a clean life.
Peter even says here (ferds version) "God showed me I am about to die and here are the things I want you to remember"
It is really powerful stuff. I am teaching this right now in Sunday School and hope that the lessons I am writing, I can one day turn into a book.

One of the ministers I admire the most has a tape series of Hebrews that I'm going thru. (52 sermons) What a GREAT book. It's becoming a personal favorite but if I could ONLY have 1 from the new I'd still stay with John. Kind of sums everything else up.

My room mate and I did an indepth study of Jude, we went through all of the referance verses and almost every verse referenced to 2 Peter.... I like Peters books alot, they come across a little gentler than Paul, but then again, Paul's writings remind me of my senior pastor and Peter's writings remind me of my pastor (meaning their styles of preaching)
