Peter J. Peters, who lightheartedly described himself as a "has-been cowboy wannabe preacher", was born and raised in Western Nebraska. After graduating from the University of Nebraska School of Agriculture, he earned a BSc from the Colorado State University in agricultural business and economics.
After retiring from the USDA, he enrolled at the Church of Christ Bible Training School in Gering, Nebraska, where he was given a baccalaureate degree after three years of study.
He subsequently became the pastor of the LaPorte Church of Christ in LaPorte, Colorado and established Scriptures for America, a world-wide outreach ministry to evangelize by means of shortwave radio broadcasts, the mailing of audiotapes, CDs, and DVDs, his Dragonslayer Newsletter and eventually web-casting via the websites ScripturesforAmerica.org and AnotherUntoldStory.com.
He authored the anti-homosexual booklet "Intolerance of, Discrimination Against, and the Death Penalty for Homosexuals is prescribed in the Bible". He also described the 2010 Haiti earthquake as God's judgment on the Haitian people, for their long running satanic practices, whom he described using racist language.
On July 7, 2011, Peters died in his home of natural causes.
