Description
It isn’t hard for Christians to identify with the Apostle
Peter. As he sought to follow after Jesus, his life was
punctuated by both bold moments and great blunders alike.
Yet in spite of Peter’s sins, he was the Apostle who confessed
the Christ, to which Jesus replied, “On this rock I will build
my church” (Matt. 16:16, 18). The Lord would use this vessel of
clay to bring the hope of the gospel to the world.
In this book, Dr. Derek Thomas offers an encouraging portrait
of Peter from the Gospels and the book of Acts, with insights
from Peter’s own writings later in life. At every stroke our
eyes are drawn beyond the disciple to his gracious Master,
who fashions stumbling believers into stalwarts of faith.
