Peter

This book captures the complex life of Peter, from his first call to leave his nets to fish for men through his denial of the Lord to the Day of Pentecost and ending with Peter's death in Rome.

F.B. Meyer's powerful prose illustrates Peter's life with grace and power without straying from a Biblical understanding of Peter. Thoughout Peter: Fisherman, Disciple, Apostle, Meyer gives us glimpses of Jesus in his narrative of Peter, and we see the love of Christ toward His sometimes wayward and sometimes faithful disciple. The life of Peter is ultimately a grand story of the power of redemption and the continuous transforming power of Jesus in our daily lives, and Meyer brings that story and its applications to life. (This is a large book--see the table of contents below!)

As you would expect, theWord version of this resource is properly organized by Chapter with subtopic chapters in theWord's hierarchy system.

About F.B. Meyer
Frederick Brotherton Meyer (1847–1929). Baptist pastor, Bible conference speaker and writer. Born in London, Meyer was convinced from his childhood that he would be a preacher.

While at Priory Street Church in 1873, Meyer befriended Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey, who had arrived in England to minister but had found that the two men who had invited them had died. Invited to York, Moody found Meyer very helpful in getting his campaign started. This friendship resulted in Moody inviting Meyer to America in 1891, the first of twelve trips. He spoke at the East Northfield Summer Conference for two weeks and proved to be so popular that he was asked to give post-conference addresses. In one meeting at Northfield, J. Wilbur Chapman was touched by Meyer’s preaching and testified later to a life-changing commitment made there.

Prior to his coming to the U.S., his written works had received much attention. His biographies of Bible characters gained great popularity, as did his expositional and devotional works.
