You are Peter, Simon Peter, His Life and His Lord

Blurb

Simon Peter is one of the most beloved characters of the New Testament. Besides his ardent and energetic personality, it is the weaknesses lurking in his character that we find attractive. Prone to mistakes, word gaffes, and more solemnly, his deep failure when he denied his Lord. Perhaps it is this very thing, combined with the Lord’s patience with His devoted servant, and in the end, His restoring grace, that causes us to be captivated with this particular disciple.

Simon Peter’s importance in the unfolding drama of redemption and the establishment of Christianity also appeals to us, and even demands that we should study his life. This small book (so much more could be written on Peter !) is presented with the purpose of answering that desire and to facilitate a good understanding of the life and times of this special disciple. It is written in a simple, non-scholarly style, and highlights the various critical epochs in Peter’s life, from his conversion to his martyrdom.
