Synopses & Reviews
This full-color gift book uses Peter's life, from ordinary fisherman to the rock upon which the Christian Church would be built, as a template for our own life's potential. Using serene nautical photographs, compelling excerpts from scripture, new text and inspiring quotes from notable leaders and profound thinkers, the book takes us through Peter's journey, the invitations that were extended to him to have faith and how he responded, and relates that to contemporary life, challenging us not to be held back by struggles and inspiring us to see invitations for greater faith and, like Peter, to see our own extraordinary potential in everyday life.
