Simon Peter: Challenging Times

Simon Peter

Challenging Times

Simon Peter had been following Jesus for around two years by now, but he still had a lot to learn. He was still impulsive, and still prone to speaking or acting before thinking. What could Jesus possibly make of him?

This is the second of two books on Simon Peter’s life by Helen Clark. As we follow his story, we see so much of ourselves in him—but we can also be encouraged by the remarkable transformation Jesus brought about in his life. How was he able to preach to thousands of people at Pentecost? Where did this once-cowardly fisherman find the courage to challenge crowds of Jews? Find the answer as you read on!
