The Rock And The Rabbi: Life Lessons From Peter’s Journey with Jesus

Author(s):

When was the last time you failed God? Have you repeatedly failed God and felt unworthy of His forgiveness? How long will God put up with your promises to change, only to see you fail again? And if you keep failing, what good are you to God anyway?

This book examines the spiritual transformation of Peter the rock through his relationship with his rabbi, Jesus Christ. Peter was bold and passionate about following Jesus, but his rash words or impulsive actions often got him into trouble. The biggest failure of his life was denying Jesus after three years of intimate fellowship with the Son of God. He was a fallible but devoted follower of Christ. That is something we should find endearing. He was a flawed but faithful disciple. That should inspire us. He faltered and failed often, yet Jesus loved him and used him. That should encourage us.

Discover how God loves you, imperfect as you are, through Peter’s journey with Jesus. God is big enough and gracious enough to handle your failures until He decides the work is complete and takes you home.

The purpose of this book is to help Christians reflect on their spiritual journey with God. Christian readers who struggle to live up to God’s standards and expectations will also find encouragement in this book. As this book is a compilation of Peter’s interactions with Jesus, it is an excellent resource for pastors and Bible study groups.
