Peter was a fascinating character. He was hard working, enthusiastic, active, and untamed before the Master changed his life and heart. His story serves as a powerful example of how God takes a rough and tumble man and turns him into a powerful leader of that which is holy and true. This book covers Peter’s life as revealed in the Scriptures, weaving throughout the biography a history and culture of the times, and in so doing exposing the feelings and thoughts that might have led to the impulsive, untempered, and zealous lifestyle of this great Disciple.

Peter: Fisherman, Disciple, Apostle starts with Peter’s life as it is presented in the Gospels, and unfolds it as it progresses and grows on through the book of Acts, using Scripture portions as the basis of presenting window frames of spiritual growth and example from Peter’s life. The result is a masterpiece of lessons that enable the Bible student to be able to understand the processes used by Jesus to cause Peter to grow into a tower of faith and spiritual stamina. These lessons are easily applied to the daily life and need of the Christian, who is submitting to the work of the Holy Spirit, so that fruitful growth can occur.
