A Pilgrimage with Peter: A Glimpse into the Life and Writings of Peter

Peter, the fisherman, is one of the most colorful figures we see in the New Testament. One of the reasons we seem to gravitate to Peter is because he reminds us so much of ourselves. He was impetuous—quick to speak, often before he even thought through what he was about to say. But Peter was also a very loving person—especially in his devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, Peter did betray our Lord; but he also quickly repented and committed himself to following Christ—no matter the hardship and persecution it may bring. History tells us that it cost Peter everything—including his life. His life serves as an excellent example for us.
