While each of the disciples played a part in Jesus' ministry and the formation of the early church, Simon Peter's role was more prominent than most. His ministry and influence are still felt in the church today. More Alive under the Shadow examines Peter's life as recorded in the New Testament, revealing valuable lessons for us today, such as forgiveness, boldness, loyalty, and acceptance. With thought-provoking questions included, this is an excellent resource for small group study, sermon preparation, or personal reflection. More Alive under the Shadow offers encouragement and illumination for all Christians living under Peter's shadow.
