Peter: A model for following Jesus

“Peter” is a Bible study discussion guide on the life of Peter. Simon the Rock. That’s what Jesus called him. We call him Peter. We can only look at a person on the outside.

The author paraphrases in his own words what is going on in each biblical scene. Scripture references allow you to look up the details more fully if you wish. 200 questions are provided as tools to deepen your faith.
