Volatile. Cowardly. Slow on the uptake.

As a follower of Jesus, Peter didn't have a lot going for him. Yet he became a passionate preacher and an extraordinary leader, and the rock on which Christ built his church.

Bishop Ken Clarke believes that Jesus works the same kind of transformation in his followers today.

In this warm-hearted and deeply encouraging book, he draws out lessons from Peter's life for us today. He equips enthusiastic disciples and growing leaders to keep their focus, handle failure and fulfil their potential in God's service.

    Fondly true and winsomely encouraging! Rarely is a guide to Simon Peter so accessible and faithful. Going for Growth is inspiring, warm and wise! Depth and truth will underpin the journey of each reader. As a follower of Jesus, Peter didn't have a lot going for him. Yet he became a passionate preacher and an extraordinary leader, and the rock on which Christ built his church. Bishop Ken Clarke believes in this same kind of transformation in each of us as Christ’s followers today. In this warm-hearted and deeply encouraging book, Clarke draws out lessons from Peter's life for us today. He equips enthusiastic disciples and growing leaders to keep their focus, handle failure and fulfil their potential in God's service. A fresh, pacey and authentic steer on the life of an unlikely follower-leader for our encouragement on life and faith with Christ. Failure, faith, vulnerability and glory all get ample coverage here!
