The Name He Did Not Choose

How a Galilean Fisherman Became the Rock of the World
107 pagesEbook · 6×9 paperback

He Never Asked to Be the Rock. Grace Didn't Ask Permission. Simon was a fisherman. Calloused hands, a boat, a brother, and a life that made sense. Then a stranger stood on the shore and everything changed, including his name. The Name He Did Not Choose is the story of how a rough-edged man from Galilee became the foundation upon which the Church was built, not because he was perfect, but precisely because he was not. This is not a distant theological portrait.

Read the full description

This is Peter close up, the impulsive confessor who got it gloriously right, the frightened man who got it devastatingly wrong, and the restored apostle who walked into Rome and never walked back out. If you have ever loved this man from the margins of the Gospel page, this book was written for you.
