Peter

Of the more than 3,200 characters in the Bible, Simon Peter surely ranks as one of the most relatable. Perhaps he is best known for his impulsive nature and frequent failures, truly a man "subject to like passions as we are" (James 5:17). Yet the more we read his biblical biography, the more we admire him. The early Christians held Peter in high esteem because they witnessed firsthand the Lord transforming him into a steadfast believer and influential leader. As you follow his story, you will come to appreciate Peter's knowledge of Scripture, leadership, preaching, boldness, miracles, and deep love for Christ. In this book, the author examines Peter's life thematically with three main objectives: to cover the major events and details of his life, to draw practical lessons from his actions, words, character, and achievements, and to deepen our appreciation for the Lord and Saviour whom Peter loved so profoundly. This practical study challenges us to follow Peter's example in his love for Scripture, passion for the gospel, consistency in prayer, Christlike character, and even in the way he learned from failure.
